Everyone knows about the field option type defined as “DialogList”. When you click on the drop down, the list pops up. However, how can you invoke this exact “list” directly, without creating a field of this type on a form? It should be doable. Why? Because the standard System Command “Categorize” function does this in exactly this fashion. In that System Command, the same “DialogList” type box is displayed without presenting a separate form with a DialogList type field. I would like to be able to do the same thing in LotusScript for example. The DialogList also presents the option to define a new Category (or “value not in list”).
All other LotusScript and Formula Language PROMPT functions do not present the same exact type of options, because you cannot add the “Allow values not in list” option, as you can in a DialogList field type. I would like to know how to invoke the function somehow without having to present another dialogbox with a field of the DialogList type, in the same way the “Categorize” System Command function works within a Personal Address Book (e.g., Contacts View, Tools - Categorize). But say I want to do the same thing using a different field in the selected documents, etc… In essence, customize the System Command “Categorize” to my liking… Anyone have an idea on how this can be done?
