Version 6.3.8 for Windows
 —  Dialog Component Reference  —

General Information

The NGU-prefixed subprograms and dialogs in library SYSTEM provide you with frequently needed functionality. You then only specify a CALLNAT or OPEN DIALOG statement in your event handler code, instead of having to program everything manually.

For your convenience, the local data areas NGULKEY1 and NGULFCT1 are automatically included in the list of local data areas used by any new dialog.

There are two types of names for the NGULFCT1 subprograms or dialogs:

To call the subprograms, you can use either name in event handler code: you specify CALLNAT subprogram-long-name/Natural-object-name parameter-name....

To call the dialogs, you can also use both types of names inside the OPEN DIALOG statement.

Note:
The NGU subprograms and dialogs provided with Natural Version 2.1.3 have partly been replaced by corresponding PROCESS GUI statement actions. The old NGU subprograms and dialogs are compatible with this version. It is recommended that you replace the calls to the dialogs and subprograms with the corresponding PROCESS GUI statement actions. This will increase the performance of your applications.
