Hello Cableguy,
It won't be difficult to create a clone of your AboutPanel library (named for example InputBox and using .ShowDialog) to act like a modal InputBox. Think about it, no hurry at all, we all can wait until... this evening
Cheers

Well, almost.....Got a virus and had to re-install my system.....
That part is done, now I have to re-install and configure all the other apps, including b4ppc and sharpdevelop....:sign0148:
Hopefully I'll have all working by tomorow and start on the imput panel....
In the meantime, please provide some props/features that you would like to see in an input panel, and if possible, a graphical example of how it would look....

B4X:
'btn1 is the OK button, so it should pass the textbox(txt) value....
private void btn1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
get{ return txt.text;}
}
'btn2 is the Clear button, so it should Clear the textbox(txt) value....
private void btn1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
txt.text=""
}Would this be correct???
When validating user input, whats the best form of action, to hide the panel or to dispose of it?
