Watch.InputBox
Starting version 7.0, the Watch.InputBox function is deprecated and may no longer work due to changes in the way in
which the Watch Service functions. This function is completely disabled in PlanetPress Suite 7.3 and higher.
Prompts the user to enter a string. The string is displayed as the window caption. You can specify a message that is displayed
above the text box. This method is the same as PW_InputBox.
Clicking OK returns the value entered by the user. If no value was entered the default value is returned. Clicking Cancel
returns the default value.
You must enable the “Run on desktop” option for the PlanetPress Suite process whose script calls Watch.InputBox. Otherwise
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools application may stop working and require a reboot.
Example
s = watch.inputbox("caption", "message", "default")
watch.showmessage(s)
