The following creates a new record and enters data via a custom dialog box. The dialog
box asks users to enter a product ID, product description, and product cost. The dialog
box shows a custom title, custom text, and three input fields. If the user cancels the dialog
box, the record is deleted.
Example Two:
#In this example, you must create a new record before you can enter
data in it.
New Record/Request
#The custom dialog box solicits information from the user.
Show Custom Dialog ["Product information"; "Enter identifying
information for this product:"; Products::ProductID;
Products::Product description; Products::Product cost]
#After the user exits the custom dialog box, the script evaluates
which button the user has selected.
#In this example, button 1 is "OK" and button 2 is "Cancel."
If [Get (LastMessageChoice) = 2]
#If the user cancels the script, the record created at the
beginning of the script is deleted.
