Question
How do I add a dialog box that allows input and submission?
I’m a bit confused about the different ways to implement dialog boxes, so I threw something together but it doesn’t work.
I want there to be a default value in this purple area, but I want users to be able to modify it and submit it.
Thank you.

makeDialog();
var listA;
function makeDialog() {
//the dialog object
var theDialog = app.dialogs.add({ name: " CopyToc", canCancel: true });
with (theDialog.dialogColumns.add()) {
staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "OldStyle:" });
staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "NewStyle:" });
}
with (theDialog.dialogColumns.add()) {
listA = []
for (var i = 1; i < app.activeDocument.tocStyles.length; i++) {
listA.push(app.activeDocument.tocStyles[i].name)
};
oldStyle = dropdowns.add({ stringList: listA, selectedIndex: 0, minWidth: 80 });
//newStyle = inputGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Index");
}
var res = theDialog.show();
if (res == true) {
oldStyle = listA[oldStyle.selectedIndex];
main()
} else {
theDialog.destroy();
}
}
