Enhancement Suggestion

[TheArtfulDodger]

Hello, SoftMaker:

I would like to make a suggestion for an enhancement to BasicMaker, or more specifically, to the definition of the Dialog Box.

The current definition of the Dialog Box includes:

Code: Select all

Begin Dialog CheckList 200, 200, 237, 200, "Name"
	Text 25, 100, 150, 25, "To start over, push 'RESTART'."
        PushButton 50, 125, 45, 20, "NEXT"

I recommend permitting the use of variables for the texts and the locations. So, this example might look like:

Code: Select all

Begin Dialog CheckList 200, 200, 237, 200, DialogName$
	Text StartX%, StartY%, 150, 25, "To start over, push 'RESTART'."
        PushButton ButtonX%, ButtonY%, ButtonL%, ButtonH%, ButtonName$

I have indicated the variable types in the definitions but of course, they would have been defined prior to their use. Allowing variables in these places would enable the user to more closely tailor the boxes to their liking.

Thank you very much.
