Set return value of dialog1 to dialoge2

Post by nodochau » Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:21 pm

Hello All,
I have set two dialogs and try to get the return value from dialog1 (Edit property) and set it into dialog2 (Edit property). I have no success to do it. After I click Button A and B and I will have the variable name=AB
in dialog1. But I can not use that variable %name% to set into the Edit1object of dialog2.
I want AB to show in dialog2.
Please help. And please show me how to post code here :)
Here is my program:

Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
Left = 2460
Top = 103
HelpContext = 5000
BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu]
Caption = 'CustomDialog'
ClientHeight = 205
ClientWidth = 586
Color = clBtnFace
Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
Font.Color = clWindowText
Font.Height = -14
Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
Font.Style = []
OldCreateOrder = True
ShowHint = True
OnTaskBar = False
PixelsPerInch = 120
TextHeight = 16
object Edit1: TEdit
Left = 192
Top = 41
Width = 194
Height = 24
TabOrder = 0
Text = 'Edit1'
end
object MSButton1: tMSButton
Left = 134
Top = 96
Width = 75
Height = 25
Caption = 'A'
TabOrder = 1
DoBrowse = False
BrowseStyle = fbOpen
end
object MSButton2: tMSButton
Left = 393
Top = 92
Width = 75
Height = 25
Caption = 'B'
TabOrder = 2
DoBrowse = False
BrowseStyle = fbOpen
end
object MSButton3: tMSButton
Left = 162
Top = 150
Width = 75
Height = 25
Caption = 'OK'
ModalResult = 1
TabOrder = 3
DoBrowse = False
BrowseStyle = fbOpen
end
object MSButton4: tMSButton
Left = 341
Top = 151
Width = 75
Height = 25

end
end
EndDialog>Dialog1

First to set code to display properly in the forum, highlight the code then press the </> button located just above the text box.

With the code:
- Dialogs created using Macro Scheduler version 12 and beyond no longer need ResetDialogAction>
- You have created a variable named "Text". "Text" is the name of a dialog Edit box property. When you set the variable Text you rendered edit boxes unusable. Be careful not to name variables the same as Dialog objects or object properties.
- You don't set a dialog property using Let>. You use the SetDialogProperty function.

I've corrected your code below. Hope this helps.

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
Left = 2460
Top = 103
HelpContext = 5000
