[SOLVED] Dialog that requests user input with default entry

[fatmonk]

Is there a standard LCL dialog that requests user input with a default value - like InputBox - but also registers whether the user clicked OK or Cancel - like InputQuery?

Doesn't InputQuery do exactly that?

For example:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   AVal: String;
3. begin
4.   AVal := 'Default value';
5.   if not InputQuery('Query', 'Input something', AVal) then
6.     ShowMessage('Cancelled');
7. end;

results in the atttached image

Aha.. the last argument also sets the default value... makes sense, but I didn't get that from the documentation - I thought it was just for the result.

Thanks,

If it's any consolation, I wasn't quite sure either and had to test it

Docs have been updated to include the omission.

There is also a variant that has arrays of Prompts and Values. That one was not mentioned in the docs at all.

It is "mentioned" (at least for 3.2.0); what it isn't is explained, as in: "WTH does it do?"

Fact is, most of Dialogs procedures and functions are rather sketchily explained in the docs and one is left with almost no resource but trying them to see what they do.

Which, depending on the p.o.v., might not so bad; I'd do it nevertheless

* ETA: for completeness sake (though it's easy to guess) what it does is allow to prompt for and return several values instead of just one.
