Discussion

The UI_INFO_DLG_DEF_HEIGHT() function tells you how high the specified Xdialog expression will be.

Example

In this example, lastname prompt and the field are on same line, so the Xdialog will be .57 inches high.

? ui_info_dlg_def_height("lastname: [.40name]")
= 0.572917

In this example, the lastname prompt and the field are on separate lines (because of the semi-colon after lastname:). The Xdialog will be .72 inches high.

? ui_info_dlg_def_height("lastname:; [.40name]")
= 0.729167
