Hiya,

I just tried adding a "Cancel" button to the following line and it told me there is a 3 button limit when I ran it:

set AskPDF to display dialog "Choose the type of PDF you wish to create:" buttons {"Client approval", "HiRes External", "HiRes Pre-Press"}

I suppose I could merge the HiRes options and bring up another dialog to select External or Pre-Press, but I'd like to avoid the user having to see another dialog if possible.

The above dialog is the first to appear in my script and the designers have requested a cancel button coz sometimes they accidentally run the wrong script or realise they need to make "one further correction" and want to stop it immediately.

You may use standard addition's command "choose from list" instead of "display dialog".
Each string in the list would then appear as one of the options you want to offer to the user.


HTH,
Axel
