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 theNewPublisherDialog
function to display the publisher dialog box on the user's screen. Unlike the Standard File Package routines, theNewPublisherDialog
and theNewSubscriberDialog
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
, andSectionOptionsExpDialog
functions are the same as the simple dialog functions but have five additional parameters.
