(load_dialog filename)

Load that dialog box definition file.

This function loads a DCL dialog control file. DCL files must be loaded before a custom dialog box can be displayed by progeCAD. The filename argument is the name of the DCL file.

This function returns the ID (a positive integer) of the loaded DCL file, or -1 if the DCL file cannot be loaded.

Examples

1. load_dialog

3. action_tile, start_image, start_list, etc (perform all dialog box initialization, such as associating an action with a tiles, creating an image, and making the lists for list boxes)
4. start_dialog
