Wish: option to create simple dialog boxes for scripts

[Stefan]

As addition to the build-in MsgBox / Inputbox- features of the script languages,

I want to suggest to add a option to EmEditor for to create dialogs for user input.

Like:
CreateGui: x100, y120, h400, w850
GuiTitle = “my great tool”
AddText = “my description”
AddEdit vPrefix
AddEdit vSuffix
AddText = “Empty Lines too?”
AddCheckbox vCB1

Used in script:
alert(vPrefix);
alert(vSuffix);
if(vCB1){alert(“In Empty Lines Too”)};
—-
——-
.

There’s already a similar feature available: the MsgBox method of the PopupMenu object:

https://www.emeditor.org/en/macro/popupmenu/msgbox.html

Would this work for your needs?

Thanks for the answer. That’s a good start.

How can I add two edit boxes to that dialog?

menu = CreatePopupMenu();
menu.Add( "Button 1", 1);
menu.Add( "Button 2", 2);
menu.AddEdit("do it". vDoIt)
result = menu.MsgBox( "Header", "Body", );
if(vDoIt){ ..... }

 
 
Thanks

You can’t add edit boxes to the dialog right now, but I’ll consider adding this feature in future versions.

This will provide more possibilities, which I think will be very helpful to me
