Previewing a custom dialog

You can preview the dialog that is currently open in the Custom Dialog Builder. The dialog appears and functions as it would when run from the menus within IBM® SPSS® Statistics.

  • Source variable lists are populated with dummy variables that can be moved to target lists.
  • The Paste button pastes command syntax into the designated syntax window.
  • The OK button closes the preview.
  • If a help file is specified, the Help button is enabled and will open the specified file. If no help file is specified, the help button is disabled when previewing, and hidden when the actual dialog is run.
