UI_DLG_PARENT_GET Function

Syntax

Arguments

Parent_Name

The name of the calling (parent) dialog.

title

The name of the called (child) dialog.

Description

Return the name of dialogs parent (if the named dialog has a parent).

Discussion

The UI_DLG_PARENT_GET()returns the name of the calling dialog. This function is useful when an embedded dialog needs to know the name of the dialog that caused it to appear.

Example

One case when a dialog needs to know the name of the calling dialog is when you create a generalized function for displaying dialogs. The function showEmbeddedDialog() has the ability to provide event calls to its parent because UI_DLG_PARENT_GET()provides the parent's name.

ui_dlg_box("Test",<<%dlg% 
{startup=init} 
{embedded=80,10window1} 
%dlg%,<<%code%
  
if a_dlg_button = "init" then 
a_dlg_button = "" 
showEmbeddedDialog("window1") 
end if
  
if a_dlg_button = "EmbeddedDialogCallback" 
a_dlg_button = "" 
ui_msg_box("Notice","This event was fired by a button on the embedded dialog") 
end if 
%code%) 

'--------------------------------------------------------------
function showEmbeddedDialog as v (title as c) 

ui_modeless_dlg_box(title,<<%dlg% 
This is the embedded dialog; 

%dlg%,<<%code% 

if a_dlg_button = "callbackEvent" then 
a_dlg_button = "" 
dim dlg_parent as c 
dlg_parent = ui_dlg_parent_get(title) 
if dlg_parent <> "" then 
       ui_dlg_event(dlg_parent,"embeddeddialogcallback") 
else 
       ui_msg_box("","I am not an embedded dialog") 
end if 
end if 

if a_dlg_button = "close" then 
dlg_parent = ui_dlg_parent_get(title) 
if dlg_parent <> "" then 
       ui_msg_box("Error","You can't close an embedded dialog. You must close its parent.") 
else 
       ui_modeless_dlg_close(title) 
end if 
end if 

%code%) 

end function
