BOA 'OnMenuHelpAboutMenu' Frame2 Dialog2

[vmars956]

Greetings; 11/01/2008

I am stepping thru: "Getting Started Guide for Boa Constructor
Kevin Gill November 1, 2000 March 2005 updated for Boa 0.4.0
July 2007 updated for Boa 0.6.0 by Werner F. Bruhin "

And everything works great, until I select the AboutMenu item.
It does absolutely nothing, as far as Dialog2 is concerned.
If I put some other code in 'AboutMenu' , instead of Dialog2 stuff, 'AboutMenu' works fine.
So I know that part of 'OnMenuHelpAbou tMenu' is working.

Please, can someone tell me what is wrong with this code.
Thanks
...Vernon

You commented out "import Dialog2" at the top of your code...

You commented out "import Dialog2" at the top of your code...

Sorry, I don't know what you mean:
I see the code for both 'Boa:Frame:Fram e2 ' and 'Boa:Dialog:Dia log2' .
I purposely left out extraneous code for because everythong works except Dialog2 .
Anyways I'll include it all here.

Hope this helps, Thanks !

[YarrOfDoom]

I'm talking about line 4 of your first codeblock:
[CODE=Python]#import Dialog2[/CODE]
There's a '#' there, thus this statement won't be executed, because it is regarded as a comment.
As a result of that, you cant call 'Dialog2.Dialog 2()' (as you did on line 22), because the Dialog2-module hasn't been imported.

[vmars956]

Ah, yes, that would cause problems.
I fixed that line.
Unfortunately, the program continues to not bring up Dialog2.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
