Greetings:
I have a dialog box with multiple drop-downs, a "Process" button, a Result field, a OK button, and a Cancel Button.
This dialog box is for a Currency Converter.
Drop-Down 1 is for From Currency
Drop-Down 2 is for To Currency

the Process button
Sets form fields that are bound to a dataconnection to the selected values for Drop-Down 1 and 2.
It calls the dataconnection bound to a Web Service.

All this works, and I can see the conversion factor returned to the form field, and can display it via an app.alert in the dialog box "butn" function.

I cannot seem to get the conversion factor value to appear in the dialog box field.
Any ideas if posting data into a dialog box after Initialize is possible?

Many Thanks!
Mark

YES - it is possible. I found the answer. My Dialog has 3 data areas, 2 list_box areas named sub1, and sub2. It also had a edit_text field named factor1. I was never able to load data to factor1. Once I renamed factor1 to sub3 everything worked.
I wish there was some documentation for the dialog box functions that was meaningful.
