Input Box Function

[Greolt]

I found this on the Cypress Enable Language document.

Sub Main ()
  Title$ = "Box to ask for a number"
  Prompt$ = "Enter the number"
  Default$ = ""
  X% = 200
  Y% = 200
  N$ = InputBox$(Prompt$, Title$, Default$, X%, Y%)
End Sub 

When this Input Box is run where is the answer?

How do I retrieve it?   Where is it stored?  In a parameter?  I am looking for an integer.

I hope that makes sense.  I don't even know enough to ask the right question.

N$  is the string that the user types in.

The type that N$ is a string, if you want it to be a number you will need to use a string to int or decimal or float function from the book.

Thanks Scott

It was fairly obvious once I saw it.  Usually is isn't it. 


Dim P583 As Integer

Title$ = "Box to ask for a number"
Prompt$ = "Enter the number"
Default$ = ""
X% = 200
Y% = 200
P583 = InputBox$(Prompt$, Title$, Default$, X%, Y%)
