Pause a script

I have a script with a dialog box.

If the user presses continue and all of the criteria is not met, I put up a message box that says so.

When the user presses ok the dialog disappears.

How do I let the use complete the dialog and then continue?

The way Fusion commands are designed, the OK button should only be enabled when the current input meets the required criteria. That's the reason for the ValidateInputs event on the command. You can check if the current values meet your criteria and set the value of the areInputsValid property on the ValidateInputsEventsArg object appropriately. If this is False, the OK button will be disabled.

Thanks Brian,

Must have been a senior moment to not think of that.

Works great now.
