Can I Create Custom Dialogs and Other Interactive User Input Controls in SVB?
The STATISTICA Visual Basic environment provides all tools to program complete custom user interfaces. A powerful User-Dialog Editor is included to design dialogs using simple operations like dragging buttons to the desired locations. Unlike in Microsoft Visual Basic, the user-defined dialogs will be stored along with the program code as data of type UserDialog. This method of creating dialogs allows you to create sophisticated user interfaces that can easily be edited in textual form; also, by defining the entire dialog as a variable, you can completely define dialogs inside subroutines, which can be freely moved around the program. However, user-defined dialogs designed in the STATISTICA Visual Basic environment cannot be ported directly to Microsoft Visual Basic, which uses a form-based method of creating dialogs. This is not a serious limitation, though, but rather a design issue, in the sense that you should decide before embarking on the development of a complex program with exte
