The default OK button will always close the dialog after the [OnOk] scripts run, so you'll have to create your own OK button to do what you want.
Dialog Builder steps...
1> Delete the existing OK button and its string table entry (if it has one).
2> Create a new button and double-click on it to bring up its properties.
3> Change its caption to OK.
4> Make a note of its ID (e.g., IDC_BUTTON1) and close properties.
5> Open the string table and create a new entry.
6> Give it the ID of your new button (IDC_BUTTON1).
7> Enter a caption, e.g., DialogName.OK
8> Rebuild, etc.
LabTalk steps...
9> The name of the section for your button is determined by the caption you entered in step 7. As I wrote it, the section should be called [OK.OnClick].
10> There are at least three LabTalk methods for creating your prompt, but 'type -c' is probably the simplest. It generates a prompt with OK and Cancel buttons and the Cancel button terminates script execution.
[OK.OnClick]
-- previous OnOk scripts --
type -c "Are you sure?"; // actually, insert this line where appropriate in your previous OnOK scripts
dialog.close(DllName,DialogName);
...Having said that, if you just want the ability to run the [OnOK] scripts without closing the dialog it would be better to create an Apply button. To do that, leave the default OK button alone and do the following.
Dialog Builder...
1> Create a new button and set the ID to ID_APPLY_NOW and the caption to Apply.
2> Create a string table entry with the same ID and the caption DialogName.Apply
LabTalk...
3> The [OnApply] section should already exist, but create it if not.
[OnApply]
run.section(,OnOK);
I hope that helps.
