pop window and pause script

[raingirl]

I want to have a window pop up and be locked until the user clicks a "close button". I can create a script that allows user abort (off), opens the window and pauses indefinitely until the user clicks resume script, then I have it close the window. This works fine if the user just does data entry and hits a button that resumes script/closes window. However, there are times when I want the user to execute a script on that layout will the initial script is being paused. I tried incorporating the sub-script into the original window opening script but there is no good way to get this to work. The problem I am having is that the "resume" script step doesn't allow you to pass a parameter so the script doesn't know whether to close or execute a different script command. I am approaching this wrong??

I really want the ability to freeze the window so the user can't leave the pop window without hitting a button. Any help would be appreciated!

Can you use a global field to track the state of your scripts?

We had to do it in FM6 or before, so it should still work.

If the script is paused and the user has more than one button choice on a layout, there is no way to capture which button choice should be activated next in the script without passing a parameter. Since the resume script step doesn't allow for that, I don't see any way to get around it.

Hi raingirl

take a look to " Who care the X " !

It is an alternative way to stop the "close" box.
