Dialogs<br />

You can add custom dialog windows and forms to <strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> documents. These in turn<br />

can be linked to <strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> Basic macros to considerably extend the usage range of<br />

<strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> Basic. Dialogs can, for example, display database information or guide users<br />

through a step-by-step process of creating a new document in the form of a Wizard.<br />

Working With Dialogs<br />

<strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> Basic dialogs consist of a dialog window that can contain text fields, list<br />

boxes, radio buttons, and other control elements.<br />

Creating Dialogs<br />

You can create and structure dialogs using the <strong>OpenOffice</strong>.<strong>org</strong> dialog editor:<br />

You can drag the control elements<br />

from the design pallet (right) into the<br />

dialog area, and define their position<br />

and size.<br />

The example shows a dialog that<br />

contains a label and a list box.<br />
