Scalar for @uiedit

[cantagallo]

Code: Select all

' ' set the forecast horizon %horizonq= "Enter number of quarterly horizon" scalar ret = @uiedit(%horizonq, "Horizon") !horizonm= !horizonq*3 ' %date = "5Mar_h10.00" '***************************MAIN*********************** include subroutines.prg include data.prg include monthly.prg include quarterly.prg include errors.prg

The user dialog works with strings, while I'd like to let the user specify the value of the quarterly span for forecasting. Is there a way to do that within @uiedit or should I convert the string into a control variable.

Many thanks in advance.

Convert. Uiedit only works with strings

Thank you very much.

If I need to set up complex dialogs, are there some example I could follow to save some time? I couldn't find much on the guide.
Thank you in advance.

Download some addins. Most of them use @uidialog
