InputBox

Prompts for user input.

Parameters

PromptStr: A text string that describes to the user the type of input requested.
TitleStr: Text that appears in the dialog box's title bar. If this parameter is omitted, the title bar remains blank.
Note: The TitleStr parameter was added in version 4.0C1. Earlier scripts that use the optional DefaultStr parameter as the second parameter must modify their script by putting a comma in front of the DefaultStr parameter making it the third parameter.
DefaultStr: A text string to initially display in the input edit box.

Returns

A text string containing the user's response or an empty string if the user clicks Cancel.

Remarks

The InputBox dialog displays the prompt string, a field for user input, and the OK and Cancel buttons. Backslash characters ( \ ) embedded in PromptStr are treated as CRLFs and can be used to control the width and height of the prompt text.

Example

ResultStr = InputBox( "Enter run date:", "Run Date", "02/07/2000" )
EMWriteScreen ResultStr, 22, 7
EMSendKey "@E"
EMWaitReady 10, 1
