@uiradio bug: Cancel button returns 1 not -1

Postby jibe » Tue Jan 09, 2018 3:33 am

Hello,

The Command Reference on @uiradio reads
"The dialog shows an OK and Cancel button, and will return an integer representing the button clicked: Cancel (-1), OK (0)."

However, the Cancel button returns 1 not -1

scalar selection = 0
@uiradio(selection, "Please select an item:", "Item1 Item2 Item3")
@uiprompt(@str(selection))

I just checked it, and it does return -1.

Code: Select all

scalar selection=1
scalar retval = @uiradio(selection, "Please select an item:", "Item1 Item2 Item3")
show retval

Thanks. I had not understood that there are two scalars involved, one to store the selection and the other to store the return value.
It would be helpful if both scalars could appear in the example in the help.
