Text in Dialog_box (OpenInsight Specific)

Do I have to do something special to get text in a dialog_box?

I have the data I want in a variable, that data is being passed to the create function of the dialog_box. I only have a button (OK) on the box, no edit boxes or anything else. I am puzzled as to how the text I am passing to the dialog_box gets displayed. When I run it, the dialog box appears, with nothing in it, and the OK button. I want the user to see the entire text of the field, make whatever changes, etc. to the text and when the OK button is clicked, put the changed data into the appropriate location.

Thanks for your help.

On the create event you must pick up the passed data and populate the control.

Andy,

The data that comes through into the CREATE event of the window won't automatically do anything. You need to have a control that the data will be displayed within (typically an editbox) and then you'll need to set the TEXT or TEXTVAL property of this control with your data. All of this should be done in the CREATE event.
