<Allow Prompts>

You can use the <Allow Prompts> command to specify whether Guide Maker should include space for prompts when it creates panels.

<Allow Prompts> allow

allow

A Boolean value indicating whether Guide Maker should include space for prompts when determining the size of panels. Specify TRUE if you want Guide Maker to include space for prompts on your panels; specify FALSE otherwise. By default, Guide Maker includes space for prompts when determining the size of panels.

DESCRIPTION

When Guide Maker encounters the <Allow Prompts> command with allow set to FALSE, it does not include space for prompts when determining the size of any panel definitions following this command. For example, you might use this command if all your panels have full-size graphics.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

If you use the <Allow Prompts> command and set allow to FALSE, you should not use any other prompt-related command. If you do so, Guide Maker generates an error relating to this condition when compiling your source file.

If you omit the <Allow Prompts> command, Guide Maker includes space for prompts when determining the size of panels.

EXAMPLES

<Allow Prompts> FALSE
