here's a method for getting info from a dialog field.

here's the dialog called: drop_down_test

Code:

Copy      Help

;\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 223 135 "Dialog"

start it from a macro with this code.

Code:

Copy      Help

str controls = "3"
str cb3="test1[]test2"
if(!ShowDialog("drop_down_test" &drop_down_test &controls)) ret

this is just how to do it basically to fit everyone's needs.

change the macro to a function and make sure you rename it.
