Is it possible to put radio buttons or checkboxes, value lists etc. into custom dialogue boxes or is it only text based entry?

Cheers for the reply guys, genx

You will need a plug in to do all these things. Troi and 24U both have one.

Will have a look,

cheers

(this isnt solved in fm8 is it?)

No, but you can use the New Window script step in both 7 and 8 to create a layout for a custom dialog you design yourself, with radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.

I would do that, but unfortunately unlike on macs, windwows screws with the windows when making new windows, i.e. likes shrinking them unecessarily.

One way around that problem is to maximize the main window, then resize it using Get(WindowHeight) and Get(WindowWidth). Then you can open a new window without the main one appearing to freak out as much.

cheers, i reakon ill just muck around with the windows or else just make it goto a sperate layout, thanks for the help guys.
