UI message box results

ktkoh

Simple question but I cant find how to retreive the results from a message box.

UI.messagebox "Yes - Use Exiting Layer; No - Change Layer name", MB_YESNO

I have tried several ways but no sucess. Documentation is very vague for this process!!

Check it's return value.

result = UI.messagebox("Yes - Use Exiting Layer; No - Change Layer name", MB_YESNO)

The code sample does this:


>  result = UI.messagebox "Do you like cheese?", MB_YESNO
>  if result == 6 # Yes
>    UI.messagebox("Sketchup likes cheese, too.")
>  end
>

There are constants to make that easier:

["IDOK", "IDCANCEL", "IDABORT", "IDRETRY", "IDIGNORE", "IDYES", "IDNO"]

Ah!!! Aaaargh.... why doesn't the manual say this?? Like the constants for Face.classify we only learned about. I've been making my own constants...

Thanks that was a lot clearer than the docs.
