The dialog editor enables you to write simple dialogs for scripting.

To create a new dialog, first resize the window of the dialog editor as you wish. The size is displayed in the title bar of the editor.

You can add a new dialog button with the menu item Control element/New. If no new dialog is opened or selected, a new one is created automatically. An element in a dialog can be selected by left clicking it. It can also be resized by grabbing a corner. The coordinates of a selected element are displayed in the title bar of the dialog.

The Control element/Select style menu item is used to assign one (or more with the [Ctrl] key pressed) styles to the selected element  zugeordnet werden. If you wish to reset these, select the menu item again and just confirm with OK.

You can test a dialog with Dialog/Test dialog or the [F5] key.  The completed dialog is integrated into the script with Dialog/Save.
