 HIMEM = PAGE + 5000
 INSTALL @lib$ + "WINLIB2"
 idClickI% = 0
 idBoxDialogI% = 1
 idBoxGroupI% = 2
 idButtonActionI% = 3
 idButtonCancelI% = 4
 idBoxEditI% = 5
 idBoxDialogI% = FN_newdialog( "<Your dialog box title>", 20, 20, 160, 
128, 8, 504 )
 PROC_groupbox( idBoxDialogI%, "<Your group box title>", idBoxGroupI%, 
4, 4, 152, 96, &20000 )
 PROC_pushbutton( idBoxDialogI%, "<Search>", idButtonActionI%, 12, 
108, 56, 14, &20001 )
 PROC_pushbutton( idBoxDialogI%, "Cancel", idButtonCancelI%, 92, 108, 
56, 14, 0 )
 PROC_editbox( idBoxDialogI%, "<Your search string>", idBoxEditI%, 12, 
20, 64, 12, &80 )
 PROC_showdialog( idBoxDialogI% )
 ON CLOSE PROC_closedialog( idBoxDialogI% ) : QUIT
 ON ERROR PROC_closedialog( idBoxDialogI% ) : PRINT ' REPORT$ : END
 ON SYS idClickI% = @wparam% AND &FFFF : RETURN
 REPEAT pause% = INKEY( 1 ) : UNTIL ( idClickI% = idButtonActionI% ) 
OR ( idClickI% = idButtonCancelI% ) OR ( !idBoxDialogI% = 0 )
 ON SYS OFF
 IF ( idClickI% = idButtonActionI% ) THEN
  PRINT "'Search' pressed, settings were : "'
  DIM text% 100
  SYS "GetDlgItemText", !idBoxDialogI%, idBoxEditI%, text%, 100 TO Len%
  text%?Len% = 13
