>Goto WiederHolen 'goes back to reentry point before dialog box
>End If
Rather than Goto WiederHolen (the beginning), display your UserDialog again
at this point, within the IfThen statement. User input should remain.
True, but it costs a lot of lines of code. Using a variable to store the
string, then to display it the second+ time through is much more efficient.
InstallationDlg.Comment$ = userstring$ would cause the user's input to be
displayed as the default text. If you set userstring$ to "" before the
WiederHolen, and set userstring$ to InstallationDlg.Comment$ before looping
back, the default text for the comment field is blank the first time and
has user's input thereafter. Only takes 3 lines of code!
