Re: [Oorexx-users] MultiIntegerBox?

[Earl H. <eh...@ma...>]

I took your advice, and put the class (MultiIntegerBox) in my program to start off with. If I can get that to work I figure I'll move up to putting it in it's own CLS file.  However, I've immediately run into a problem: now none of my dialog boxes are visible! I swear I didn't touch anything else. I'm working with a clean, shiny and new OODPLAIN.CLS.

Hoping you can show me the error of my ways,

I need to input and validate a date and MultiInputBox is nice, but… it leaves a lot to be desired. If I could merge it with IntegerBox, I'd have what I need. I just don't know how to do that.
