Argument	Description
Title	The title of the dialog. The title may also be specified dynamically using the syntax: Title = "@=" + Title_Var_Name.
Format	A series of Xdialog commands that describe the appearance of the dialog box. The Format section has the following structure: Format = <<%dlg% Ã Xdialog_Code Ã %dlg%
	Argument	Description
	<<%dlg%	The only optional part of this argument is the "dlg" sequence of characters (the marker), which can be any string of characters, as long as it is unique within this instance of the UI_DLG_BOX() function. The character sequence <<%dlg% is specifically recommended because it is supported by bubble help.
	Xdialog_Code	One or more statements, each of which must be on a separate line from the <<%dlg% and %dlg% arguments.
	%dlg%	The marker characters can be any string of characters, as long as they match those in the first argument (<<%dlg%).
Code	Optional. Xbasic code that describes what should happen when various events happen when the user is interacting with the dialog box. For example, what should happen when the user presses a button, or when the user tabs out of a field. The Code section has the following structure: Code = <<%code% Ã Xbasic_Code Ã %code%
