AddDialogProperty

[Jerry Thomas]

I need to set AddDialogProperty to blank (turn off the action briefly).

I am changing the setting for a checkbox through code.
That change triggers the the checkbox OnClick action.

I want to do something like this...
AddDialogHandler>Dialog1,CheckBox1,OnClick,CheckBoxAction
...
<later in script>
...
AddDialogHandler>Dialog1,CheckBox1,OnClick, <blank>
<some code that changes the checkbox state)
AddDialogHandler>Dialog1,CheckBox1,OnClick,CheckBoxAction

Blank does not work (script starts over at the beginning and tries to run 2 iterations)
Currently I am just setting the action to an empty SRT for now. <<UPDATE THIS DOES NOT WORK

Setting the action to the dummy SRT works, but setting it back to original action does not.

Typically, I use a variable as a flag to control my subroutines. At the start of the script create a variable

Let>SubControlFlag=0

Make the first line of the dialog handler's subroutine.

If>SubControlFlag=0.

Then when you don't want the subroutine to run

Let>SubControlFlag=1

the subroutine is still called but the contents are not executed, effectively turning off the dialog handler.

Then when you want the subroutine to run again

Let>SubControlFlag=0

And so on...

That sounds reasonable
Thanks JRL!
