GetString


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

 

Syntax

sString, bOK = GetString()

sString, bOK = GetString( s )

sString, bOK = GetString( s, sPrompt )

sString, bOK = GetString( s, sPrompt, sTitle )

bullet.gif    s is the initial string. If nil, a blank string is used. If nil, a blank string is used.

bullet.gif    sPrompt is the message above the string field. If nil, a default is used.

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

bullet.gif    If [OK] is clicked, the function returns the sString and bOK=true.

bullet.gif    If the dialog is canceled, "",false is returned.

Remarks

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:

 

     string, bOK = GetString( "My string", "Enter a string :" )
