Very Basic Modal Dialog Question

Question

Standard Dialog Box example:

Names Default To Here( 1 );

If(

ex = Dialog(

Title( " Dialog() example" ),

vlist(

hlist(

"Set this value",

variable = EditNumber( 42 )

),

hlist(

Button( "OK" ),

Button( "Cancel" )

)

);

ex["button"] == 1;

,

ex["variable"],

"CANCEL"

);

How do I utilize the secret of the universe number in a table formula following the dialog?

Here's a version that uses new window instead of the old dialog.  The variable x is at your disposal after the dialog exits.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

ex = new window("Dialog() example", << modal(),

vlistbox(

hlistbox(

textbox("Set this value"),

variable_neb = numbereditbox( 42 )

),

hlistbox(

Button box( "OK",

x = variable_neb << get;

),

Button box( "Cancel",

x = .;

)

);

I only spent literally a minute but maybe this will help..

If(

ex = Dialog(

Title( " Dialog() example" ),

vlist(

hlist(

"Set this value",

variable = EditNumber( 42 )

),

hlist(

Button( "OK" ),

Button( "Cancel" )

)

);

ex["button"] == 1;

,

ex["variable"],

"CANCEL"

);

// I entered 33 versus the default of 42 and added the line at the bottom.

//  FYI. DIalog is depracated and New Window is encouraged.

x=ex["variable"];
