Modeller.createSimpleDialog

createSimpleDialog(title, rowLabels, columnLabels, data, [sizeByContent], [growGrid], [readOnly])

Creates and shows a simple dialog that can be used to either input or output a grid of generic data. All data is in string form - it is up to the programmer to convert to/from integers and reals. The dialog is of fixed size, but the data grid will scroll if necessary

title	string	Title for the dialog
rowLabels	array of strings	Array of row headers for grid
columnLabels	array of strings	Array of column headers for grid
data	array of strings	Initial data for grid (two dimensional array, first dimension number of columns, second dimension number of rows) If OK is pressed, and dialog is not read only, filled with user's input data
sizeByContent	optional boolean	Default false. True to size cells by header contents. False for default sizes
growGrid	optional boolean	Default false. True to allow user to add rows using the tab key. False to deny.
readOnly	optional boolean	Default false. True to allow user to edit cell contents. False to deny.
Return value	boolean	Returns non-zero if user pressed OK, 0 if user pressed Cancel

Example

 $ENGINE=VBScript
 title = "My Dialog Title"
 nRows = 3
 nColumns = 0
 redim rowHeader(nRows)
 redim colHeaders(nColumns)
 redim data(nColumns ,nRows)
 rowHeader(0)  = "Axis"
 rowHeader(1)  = "Start"
 rowHeader(2)  = "Finish"
 rowHeader(3)  = "Interval"
 colHeaders(0) = "Values"
 ' initial (default) data
 data(0, 0)  = "X"
 data(0, 1)  = "0"
 data(0, 2)  = "100"
 data(0, 3)  = "25"
 okPressed = createSimpleDialog(title, rowHeader, colHeaders, data, true, false, false)
 if (okPressed) then
   ' access user's input data
   axis  = data(0,0)
   start = data(0,1)
 else
    ' user pressed cancel
 end if
