prevent dialog from storing value
Dialog seems to hang on to the last thing I typed in it... not really what I'm going for. Can I clear the values when I close it?
Thanks much in advance
this is strange, but it works: make a message box with
symbol ""
Max will erase the quotes, but if you click the resulting message box (instead of a bang) to open your [dialog], whatever was there before will be erased. So it's not clearing after you enter, it's before, but hey, I think the result is the same.
interesting:
try it with just
symbol
or
symbol
...error...
somehow, after erasing the "" there is still something there...ghosts in the machine...ahh, great album ;)
*snicker* cool thx.
I love this place... it's like wetware distributed processing =P
sorry - still a mite confused. The symbol is the title of the dialog, no? I meant the inputted text. Unles you are talking about a different object?
do u often use the max help if you need information about objects, the dialog help shows how to use the symbol message. instead of text you can use an empty symbol or a space ""; " " to end up with an empty enter box when opening. i think it's not even possible to change the dialog title text on the fly once the object is created.
