Help with multiple Dialogs

Post by krash2501 » Fri Mar 10, 2017 10:14 pm

I start my script with an Non module dialog from there is goes to one of 3 new dialogs. after the user is finished with the new dialog I want it to cycle back to the 1st non Module dialog, basicly start over but I run into a bunch of issues trying to do this.

Layout:
Non Module Dialog with 3 buttons
-button 1 goes to Dialog1
-button 2 goes to Dialog3
-button 3 goes to Dialog4
User selects a button and goes to new Dialog. User inputs info into fields and clicks Button "Done".

After "Done" button is pressed I would like for the original non Module Dialog appear and to start over as if the script was started fresh.

Here is a sample that I tried:

Code: Select all

//Set IGNORESPACES to 1 to force script interpreter to ignore spaces.
//If using IGNORESPACES quote strings in {" ... "}
//Let>IGNORESPACES=1

    ModalResult = 10
