GlobalKeywordStrArray

Array of global keywords, which are typically language independent (see Remarks)

LocalKeywordStrArray

Array of local keywords, which are typically translated to the local language (see Remarks)

PromptInit

Prompt initialization as defined in dsPromptInit_e (see Remarks)

DefaultFileName

Default value for the path and file name to display in the command window (see Remarks)

Keyword[out]

Keyword input by the user

FileName[out]

Path and file name input by the user

Parameters

Result[out] or Return Value

Result as defined in dsPromptResultType_e

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.

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.
