Description

Display the dialog associated with dialogvar. The initial values of the dialog fields are provided by dialogvar.

(See the result table below.)

Parameter	Description

default	This numeric value indicates which button is the default button. (Pressing the Enter key on a non-button pushes the default button.) Use -2 to indicate that there is no default button. Other possible values are shown the result table below. If this value is omitted then the first PushButton, OKButton or CancelButton is the default button.
