Start dialog after alert warning

Hi,

If I make a wrong choise in a pop_up list in the dialog, after pressed "OK" button I have an alert warning whats wrong. But after I pressed "OK" in the alert box I want to get back to the dialog again with my previous values.

Someone who know how to do that?

/Dan

maybe things like this ...

e.g .

(progn 
(alert "You have taken a wrong turn ")
(c:myroutine)
)

My above example shows that you could recall your dialog by calling the same name of your routine name .

Hope this help .

Thank you Tharwat that works. Is it possible to get my dialog box back with my previous choises?. I don't want to make all the choises again.

I expected to read this .

I guess it is possible , but I am not that familiar with DCl codes , and for sure lots of gentlemen could help you with it and it is just a matter of time .

So just be patient .

OK Tharwat I wait and see

Thank you:)

Use a while loop to test the return of the start_dialog function; the done_dialog status argument for the OK / Cancel buttons is, by default, 1 & 0 respectively, so you can test whether the user has exited the dialog by pressing OK / Cancel (or any other button with a done_dialog call).

Thank you Lee Mac I will test our solution:)

There are other solutions to warn about a wrong input at run-time – display an error message after the user left validated control (action_tile) by either:

• An errtile control.
  
• A sub-dialog box in front of main one.
  
• The dos_msgbox function from DOSLib pack (personally I will avoid this since can easily go behind main dialog).
