InputBox Function

Displays a prompt in a dialog at which the user can input text. The input is assigned to a variable.

The InputBox statement is a convenient method of entering text through a dialog. Confirm the input by clicking OK or pressing Return. The input is returned as the function return value. If you close the dialog with Cancel, InputBox returns a zero-length string ("").

Parameters:

prompt: String expression displayed as the message in the dialog box.

title: String expression displayed in the title bar of the dialog box.

default: String expression displayed in the text box as default if no other input is given.

If xpostwips and ypostwips are omitted, the dialog is centered on the screen. The position is specified in twips.
