Adding a Value list in Show Custom Dialog

Hello

I Built a script to force people to enter certain data before the script can execute. If they are missing I use the Show custom option dialog to ask for the data. Now my question is. In the Input field. Is there a way to give the user all the options by integrating a value list.

Right now for certain fields, I have to tell them the field has not been filled and kick them out of the script and tell them to recalculate again. Not fun.

Thank you

No, the data entry options inside custom dialog boxes are limited. You do not have the same user interface design flexibility that you do on a layout.

The workaround solution is to create a new small layout that assumes the role of the dialog. Instead of Show Custom Dialog[] you would create a new window. Do all the appropriate things like Disable User Abort, Pause Script, and so on so that the new window would behave like a modal dialog.
