Built-in Dialogs

Liberty BASIC has several built-in dialogs that allow the program's user to make choices or to enter a small amount of text. They are as follows:

COLORDIALOG

This dialog allows the user to select a color from the Windows Common Color Dialog.

CONFIRM

This dialog gives the user a short message and allows him to choose "yes" or "no" in response by clicking the YES or NO button to dismiss the dialog. It is often used to ask a user if he would like to save his work before exiting a program.

FILEDIALOG

This dialog activates the Windows Common File Dialog that allows a user to select a disk filename to open or save.

FONTDIALOG

This dialog allows a user to select a font face, size and attributes.

NOTICE

This dialog gives the user a message and it includes an OK button. It stays onscreen until the user clicks the OK button.

PRINTERDIALOG

This dialog allows the user to select a printer and the number of copies of a document to print.

PROMPT

This dialog has a brief text message and a textbox that allows a user to enter a small amount of text. It also contains an OK button and a CANCEL button.

Please see the topics for the individual dialogs for pictures and details on their use.
