Bring back the Dialog() commandWhat inspired this wish list request?
I'm not sure why JMP got rid of this handy command. It still actually works, but with a warning that it has been 'deprecated'. And it recommends to use New Window() << Modal. Okay, that is more characters to type than Dialog (and not as intuitive), but I would be okay with that. What I'm not okay with is that you have to also turn off the menu and toolbar, or your small notification window is 80% toolbar and menu and is unusable. So you have turn those off with Show() arguments. But that's not enough, because the text for New Window("Text") goes into the window bar title which is too small to display. So you also have to re-size the window. And then you still don't have something as good as Dialog() because the message is in the window title and not the box. So now you have to add a text box to the window. It's a lot more to do than just Dialog(). Caption() is usable but not if you want the box to be modal.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Dialog() re-embraced by JSL.
Why is this idea important?
Saves time during troubleshooting and saves time and code length when creating user messages.
Automation and ScriptingRe: Bring back the Dialog() command@jay_holavarri , the issue is just a misleading "traffic sign" in the Scripting Index.
Use:
ex = New Window( "Dialog",
<<TYPE></TYPE>
Re: Bring back the Dialog() commandStill more characters, but satisfactory. Thank you!
