Instruction set reference

HIPE_OP_DIALOG_INPUT

This instruction provides an alternative form of HIPE_OP_DIALOG that allows freeform text input by the user, rather than a set of fixed choices. Otherwise, this dialog functions similarly to HIPE_OP_DIALOG and the user's response is received back via a HIPE_OP_DIALOG_RETURN instruction.

Notes

Framing managers without dialog support: As there is no mechanism in Hipe that may be used to determine whether a framing manager implements dialogs or not, a framing manager that does not implement dialog functionality must respond to a HIPE_OP_DIALOG or HIPE_OP_DIALOG_INPUT instruction with a HIPE_OP_DIALOG_RETURN instruction and arguments {"","0"} to indicate that the dialog has been cancelled. Otherwise, client applications that request dialogs may be left in an undefined or suspended state.

For providing suggested inputs to the user in arg[2], a possible use case might be to provide the user with the 5 most recently used commands, based on the user's previous inputs.
