Hi,

I've been searching for a way to show a custom dialog box where users can enter a search field (string), which I can use later as a variable to do a search. I've found this http://www.fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/185536/post/244928/hl/insert+dialog+box/

and some other things but nowhere the code on how show an insert field that can be later used?

Thanks

Robin

You can make a script where you use Show Custom Dialog. Select Show Custom Dialog, press Specify -> Input Fields. Select Show input field #1, press specify and choose wich field will save the text. Hope you find this helpful.

Ok I see thanks. I'm having a weird problem, I made a new text field called Search, I specify the input Search to search in multiple fields, when I click ok, it updates the field, and I do a patterncount for that field, but when I do a data view on that field I see it changing after I put in the dialog box, how can this happen?

Thanks

Sorry, i'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say.
