{LINKED}

Syntax

{LINKED=Dialog_Title}

Argument	Type	Description
Dialog_Title	C	The name of the dialog box to link to.

Description

The {LINKED} command creates external dependencies between separate xdialogs. The linked command is not directional. Which xdialog has the linked command makes no difference. The only requirement is that the linked-to xdialog exist before you create the linked-from xdialog.

Supported By

Alpha Five Version 6 and Above

Limitations

Desktop applications only

Examples

Click on a button. Not only does the variable refresh for the main xdialog, but for the xdialogs it is linked to. Modify the value of a control that shares a variable, the control gets refreshed in any linked dialogs.
