Experimental:Palette:popDialog

Summary

The popDialog custom Component builds on Container COMP to make an easy-to-use pop-up dialog for basic notifications and queries. The dialog can be set up using parameters or script.

Up to four buttons can be created, as well as a text-entry box. A callback system is provided for more complex needs.

TIP: there is a system popDialog available in op.TDResources, so for many needs a call to op.TDResources.PopDialog.OpenDefault(...) is all that is needed to create a dialog.

For examples of how to set up a popDialog, see PopDialog Custom COMP Examples.
