Parameters

Prompt[out]

ErrorMsg
Error message to display in the command window when the user input is invalid
GlobalKeywordStrArray
Array of global keywords, which are typically language independent (see Remarks)

Prompt initialization as defined in dsPromptInit_e (see Remarks)

Text that indicates to return false (see Remarks)
DefaultValue
Default Boolean value to display in the prompt in the command window (see Remarks)

Remarks

Keywords are context-sensitive options that are available in the Options toolbar when executing a command. Local keywords can be seen in the prompt in the command window during user interaction. Global keywords cannot be seen in the prompt in the command window. However, users can type global keywords at the prompt in the command window if they know them.

The StringForTrue and StringForFalse parameters:

  • can contain any combination of numbers, letters, and hyphens or only numbers, only letters, or only hyphens.
  • cannot contain spaces or any other special characters or symbols.

If the PromptInit parameter is set to:

  • dsPromptInit_e.dsPromptInit_NoDefault and a value is specified for DefaultValue, then the value is not used or displayed in the prompt in the command window.
  • dsPromptInit_e.UsePromptExplanation, then call ICommandMessage::PromptExplanation to specify the text for PromptInit.
