Dear Andrew !

The procedure calling GetExtSpec (or GetintSpec) can predefine a
locator loc in advance, therefore this parameter must be IN. On the
other hand the procedure itself sets the locator to the location
defined by the user of the dialog of the operating system, therefore it
must be OUT. Together IN and OUT become VAR, that's it, nothing more,
nothing less...

Markus

Thema: [BLACKBOX] GetExtSpec


Hello BlackBox commmunity,
 
    I have recently become puzzled by the arguments of
Dialog.GetExtSpec, inparticular
the VAR argument loc. Why is this a VAR argument? When I use
Dialog.GetExtSpec
the loc argument gets set but its value on input seems to be ignored.
 
Regards
 
Andrew
