last doubt: dialogs

[MorMel]

I'm a beginner to dialogs, so there are much things I'll take a long time to understand.

This is one:

How to call an action through a button from a listbox? I know how to set text (related with the listbox data) through that button, but I don't know how to execute a code (with that button) that is connected to each string of the listbox.

For example, I've a listbox with "Artillery" and "Air", in a dialog called "Support Request". If I choose "Air" (listbox) and press "CALL" (the button) i want the "Air" defined data to be executed.

Hey Mormel...

What you're looking for is the lbcursel command.

From the comref:

lbCurSel idc

Operand types:
    idc: Number
Compatibility:
    Version 1.5 required.
Type of returned value:
    Number
Description:
    Return index of selected item of listbox or combobox with id idc of topmost user dialog.

Example:
    _index = lbCurSel 101

So all the options you've added to the listbox will have an idc... eg 0 for "Artillery", and 1 for "Air" (most probably). So when the button "Call support" is pushed, you should detect what the listbox has displayed by using the lbCurSel command

Hope that helps you navigate the murky world of dialog making ;D
