I wish to pass data to a Dialog_Box, allow the client to change the data and then save the data.

I have defined a Dialog _BOX Window (ANSWER_TEXT_LABEL) containing a single edit table (Label_text).

From a child window I click a button to display the Dialog_Box using a Click Promoted_Event.



The code for the button in the Click Promoted_Event  is:



Text_label=xlate(rp.survey:'_QUS',q_qnum,11,"X")

	

 CREATEPARAM=TEXT_LABEL



 RESULT=DIALOG_BOX("ANSWER_TEXT_LABEL",@window,createparam)



In the CREATE Promoted event for the ANSWER_TEXT_LABEL window I have defined



  =set_property(@window:".LABEL_TEXT","TEXT",createparam)



The Dialog_Box displays correctly. The Create Event fires  but does not pass the createparam  data to the Dialog_Box. If the createparam parameter is replaced with "XXXXXXX" the "xxxxxxx" data is displayed correctly in the Dialog_Box.



How is the Createparam Dialog_Box data passed to the Create event? This seems to be the piece of the puzzle I am missing.

<QUOTE>Mark,



It sounds like your promoted CREATE event isn't passing the parameter through. That is, the parameter is probably missing. How did you design it?

<QUOTE>Thanks Don. As you suspected I was not passing the information to the Promoted Create routine. I corrected this and the data is now being displayed correctly. 

Now that I have the information displayed my next task is to Save the changes.



Do you know of Revelation "How to Guide" for using the various Dialog functions and subroutines (Create_Dialog, Dialog_Box, End_Dialog and Set_Dialog_Info)? I have checked the Help/documentation but I found the explanations at best a reference guide.



Your help is very much appreciated.

In the click event for the dialog's "SAVE" button, get the field values that you want from the dialg screen then

Values="

Values=Value1

.

.

Values=Valuen

call end_dialog(@window,Values)



These values will then be returned to your "function" call to dialog_box.
