#### Action

Action Identifies the action that calls the dialog function. There are six possibilities, Enable supports the first 4.

Action 1 The value passed before the dialog becomes visible

Action 2 The value passed when an action is taken ( i.e. a button is pushed, checkbox is checked etc...) The controlID$ is the same as the identifier for the control that was chosen

Action 3 Corresponds to a change in a text box or combo box. This value is passed when a control loses the focus (for example, when the user presses the TAB key to move to a different control) or after the user clicks an item in the list of a combo box (an Action value of 2 is passed first). Note that if the contents of the text box or combo box do not change, an Action value of 3 is not passed. When Action is 3, ControlID$ corresponds to the identifier for the text box or combo box whose contents were changed.

Action 4 Corresponds to a change of focus. When Action is 4, ControlID$ corresponds to the identifier of the control that is gaining the focus. SuppValue corresponds to the numeric identifier for the control that lost the focus. A Dialog function cannot display a message box or dialog box in response to an Action value of 4
