X_Dialog Example ?

[Louis Nickerson]

Good Morning All,

I am looking for an example of an X-Dialog. I know that I've seen it before, but it is not included in the 99 scripts that are in the samples provided with A5.

If my memory serves me well...and sometimes it does not, the dialog I am looking for has two list boxes or perhaps combo boxes.

When the user selects the name of a state in the first control, the second control is populated with a list of cities located in the state that was selected in the first control.

If anyone remembers seeing this or something similar...and knows where to find it, please let me know where it is.

Kindest Regards,

Louis

Have you checked out the "Learning Xdialog" database in your A5v5 program files folder? Mine's in

C:\Program Files\a5v5\Learning Xdialog\Learning Xdialog.adb

There are dozens of samples there.

Aaron,

Yes I have...all 99 sample X-Dialog scripts, but it is not in there.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Steve,

Thank you Sir!

This is not the one I have seen in the past, but I think I can adapt it do look and feel the way I want.
