Dialog and Alert Boxes in Macintosh QuickBASIC (32966)




This article was previously published under Q32966

SUMMARY

Macintosh dialog boxes and alert boxes are special types of Macintosh resources which can be created with ResEdit. Toolbox library routines provided with QuickBASIC allow you to display and use dialog and alert boxes. QuickBASIC gives you some predefined dialog and alert boxes in the "Demo Resources" file on the release disk.

Macintosh programs use dialog boxes when the program requires information in order to perform an operation. An alert box is a special kind of dialog box used by a program to call your attention to something or to report an error.

Please see the following for more information about dialog and alert boxes:
