Edition Manager Routines

Displaying Dialog Boxes

The Edition Manager supports three dialog boxes: publisher, subscriber, and options dialog boxes. Your application can display simple dialog boxes that appear centered on the user's screen, or you can customize your dialog boxes.

Use the GetLastEditionContainerUsed function to get the default edition to display.

Use the NewSubscriberDialog function to display the subscriber dialog box on the user's screen and use the NewPublisherDialog function to display the publisher dialog box on the user's screen. Unlike the Standard File Package routines, the NewPublisherDialog and the NewSubscriberDialog functions allow you to specify the initial volume reference number and directory ID so that there can be one default location for editions for all applications.

You use the SectionOptionsDialog function to display the publisher options and subscriber options dialog boxes on the user's screen.

The NewSubscriberExpDialog, NewPublisherExpDialog, and SectionOptionsExpDialog functions are the same as the simple dialog functions but have five additional parameters.
