(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.
