iOS: custom answer (UIAlertView) dialog?

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks, Bob, but I already tried that. When issuing the modal command, or the "go stack as modal" command on iOS, the modal stack takes over the whole screen, which is not the desired result. Still looking...

A good place to start is to read up on the dialogData. It's a global property that you can put anything into, so that is one way to pass data back and forth. Note also that you can use the return command even when you are not calling a function. Return will put whatever you declare into the result. If you want it to contain your result, then get whatever you declare, and optionally return true or false. Open your custom answer dialog stack as modal, and away you go!

Things like text font, alignment, styles, etc. The ability to skin it would also be great, but not absolutely necessary. If that's not possible, is there a way to use a custom stack and create a custom dialog that way, like we can for the desktop? I tried issuing a "modal stack <stack_name>" command, but that filled the entire screen with my modal stack, which is not what I want. I need a dialog that pops up over the top of the current view.
