Hi,

[Quoted] I am trying to create a custom Alert in order to avoid the 200 character restriction that the built in Alerts have. I am doing this by creating a modal window with a canvas and a multi-line text item to display the message. So far so good...

The problem is that I would like to implement this as a generic module based on a function call, in the same manner as the built in alerts are called, returning a value which corresponds to the button that the user selected. Here is the catch...

How can I suspend processing of the form until the user has made a selection from the modal window. As it is now, the modal window pops up, but the code continues to run, attempting to return the button pressed value before the user ever has a chance to press the buttons.

Regards,
Ian Holmes
