In button functions When you're in Customize mode and editing a button that's set as a Script Function, a Resources tab is visible: This tab lets you edit the resources associated with the script function. You can edit them in free-form XML if you like, but for dialogs you can also use the in-built dialog editor which is a much easier way of designing dialogs. text/html 2024-08-09T02:05:50+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=scripting:script_dialogs:interacting_with_dialog_controls&rev=1723169150&do=diff When a dialog is detached (by setting the Dialog.detach property to True) it becomes possible for your script to interact with the controls on the dialog to a much greater extent.

The Control object is used to read data from dialog controls.
