Difference between fgl_winbutton() and fgl_winquestion()

Could anyone please explain me about the difference between fgl_winbutton() and fgl_winquestion(). I think I miss something.... fgl_winbutton(title, text, default, buttons, icon, danger) - title Title of the box. - text Text of the question (\\n stands for new line). - default Default button selected. - buttons List of values separated by the pipe character (|). - icon Name of the icon to be used in the dialog box. - danger Number of the warning item: a skull with crossbones appears each time the pointer enters the corresponding button (on X11 only). and fgl_winquestion(title, text, default_value, possible_values, icon, danger) - title Title of the dialog box. - text Text of the question (\\n stands for new line). - default_value Answer on which the focus has to be positioned. - possible_values List of values separated by the pipe character (|). - icon Name of the icon to be used in the dialog box. - danger Number of the warning item: a skull with crossbones appears each time the pointer enters the corresponding button (on X11 only). Thanks Hubert

Dredging silted up bits of memory... Isn't it something to do with the symbology on the popped up window, such as the fgl_winquestion() window has a question mark on it and the fgl_winbutton() window does not? You can obtain the PDF manuals from http://www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/library and following the links to manuals. The information in the (v2.1) manual says: fgl_winbutton: This function displays an interactive box in a separate window with all possible answers in a menu. fgl_winquestion: This function opens a dialog box with all possible answers in a menu. In practice, it doesn't look like there is much difference; it may be that one is an older name for the same function...? -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
