Input is a multi-purpose identifier for requesting input from a user in an auto-rendered pop up dialog, similar to $?.
$input(prompt [,options] [,window] [,title] [,text])
- Prompt is the text you wish to display to the user. This is usually to tell the user what you wish to be inputted. You may use a $crlf to force a line break.
- Options is a list of option flags. Defaults to an "OK" and "Cancel" button which return $true or $false respetively.
- Window is the name of the window to be used as parent window.
- Title is the title you wish to give the input dialog box.
- Text is the default text to be entered when used with "e"
The options, window, title, and text are optional parameters.
Options
| e | Show an editbox for input. "OK" and "Cancel" are default buttons. $null is returned if "Cancel" is pressed, and the text is returned if "OK" is pressed. |
| p | Show input password editbox. (Replaces text in editbox with stars) |
| o | Show an "OK" button. |
| y | Show a "Yes" and "No" button. |
| n | Show a "Yes" "No" and "Cancel" button. |
| r | Show a "Retry" and "Cancel" button. |
| v | Return "$ok" "$yes" "$no" "$retry" or "$cancel" instead of $true or $false. Does not work when used with e. |
| g | Aligns buttons to the right instead of centering them. |
| b | Disables buttons for a second when dialog is displayed. |
| iqwhct | Shows the info, question, warning, hand, delete and star icons respectively. |
| d | Plays system sound associated with the specified icons. |
| s | Indicates that a window has been specified. |
| a | Actives the input dialog automatically. |
| u | Uses the current window as the parent. Do not use with "s" or if a window has been indicated. |
| kN | Gives the user N seconds to respond. If they do not, either $null is returned (when used with e), $timeout is returned (used with v), or $false is returned. |
| m | Indicates that multiple text parameters have been specified. They will be displayed in a combobox. The first text item is the default item (a reference to an item in the list), the rest are the items in the list. |
Note
This identifier cannot be used in a script event. One way around this is to use /scon or a /timer to initiate an input request after the script ends.
Example:
on *:text:Foo:#:{ /timer 1 0 echo -a $?="Bar?" }
