How to pause a script after custom dialog until OK is selected...???

I'm trying to create a script in FM that shows a dialog box and only continues on if the user presses OK. Right now I've got it setup like:

Perform Script []

Show Custome Dialog[]

Open URL []

I'd like for the Open URL part to only happen if the user clicks OK. If they click cancel it needs to halt here and not run the Open URL part. What do I need to do to make this happen? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Take a look at the Online Help for [color:blue]Show Custom Dialog, there are a couple of examples there. In a very simple sort of way, your steps would look something like this:

Show Custom Dialog [ Title: "Choose URL"; Message: "Do you want to open a URL"; Buttons: "OK", "Cancel" ]

If [ Get ( LastMessageChoice ) = 1 ]

Open URL [ FMForumsList::Location ]

End If

The if statement will pause until they click a button, and then respond to how you have set it up.

That works perfectly, thank you. Can you link me to this online help you speak of?

It is the Help that is available when FileMaker is open. It is part of the application.

:P
