Dialog programming

MBS includes a number of high level routines to create windows buttons, icons and input fields and also to manage events from them. Here's a simple example.....

MACRO MODULE show_message(STRING message_text*132);

  INT main_id,button1_id,button2_id,event_id;

BEGINMODULE

  main_id:=cre_win(vec(20,20),400,200,"APPLICATION MESSAGE");
  button1_id:=cre_button(main_id,vec(10,30),20,350,0,message_text);
  button2_id:=cre_button(main_id,vec(10,150),50,50,5,"Okey");
  show_win(main_id);

  loop: event_id:=wait_win(main_id);

  if event_id = button2_id then
    del_win(main_id);
    exit();
  else
    goto loop;
  endif;

ENDMODULE

This macro creates a window with a message and a button with the text "Okey". When the user presses the Okey button the macro deletes the window and exits.
