DialogSymbols

DialogSymbols
is an option for Dialog that gives a list of symbols whose values should be localized in the dialog.

DetailsDetails

  • specifies that x, y, ... should have local values for the duration of the dialog.
  • defines initial values for variables.
  • In addition to any symbols you specify, Dialog always uses local values for $Epilog, $Line, and $MessageList.
  • The DialogSymbols option sets up local values in a dialog in the same way that a Block enclosing the dialog would.
