How to create a inputbox in acrobat plugin

Hello,

I want to open a input box to receive some text after clicking on my custom menu item.

Is there any API methods to do it?

With normal C++, I am not able to achieve it.

Thanks in advance!

Windows APIs include DialogBox, DialogBoxIndirect. Maybe these aren't under the heading of GDI. Microsoft do reorganise sometimes. Maybe under Windowing. Anyway, you need familiarity with the platform API to do this.

At one time Acrobat had such features but they are gone. Use the platform GUI facilities to show a modal dialog. In Windows, that would be GDI or GDI+.

As you can see on MSDN, there is no graphics feature to create model dialog.

Windows GDI (Windows)

GDI+ (Windows)

Its about brush, pen, paints etc.
