GetNumber


The GetNumber function opens a dialog to request a number. If you click[OK] , the entered number is returned.

 

Syntax

number, bSuccess = GetNumber()

number, bSuccess = GetNumber( n )

number, bSuccess = GetNumber( n, sPrompt )

number, bSuccess = GetNumber( n, sPrompt, sTitle )

where

    n is the initial value of the number. If nil, 0 is used.

    sPrompt is the message above the number field. If nil, a default is used.

    sTitle is the window title. If nil, a default is used.

    bSuccess is an optional success flag. If[OK] is clicked, the function returns the number andbOk=true. If the dialog is canceled,0,false is returned.

  

All arguments are optional and assume default values beyond the last argument you specify. To use a default argument but follow it with a specified argument, use a nil in its place..

Example

The window shown above was created using the following code. Note that the last argument, the window title, was omitted and left to the default:

number, bSuccess = GetNumber( 125.44, "Enter a number :" )
