LoadData


far2_dialog.LoadData(aDialog, aData)

Parameters:
  aDialog : a dialog object created by a NewDialog call
  aData   : a table with data to load into aDialog

Returns:
  nothing

Description:
  The function copies input data aData into a dialog object aDialog.
  The dialog items must be added to the object before this function
  is called, since this function loads data only to existing dialog
  items.

  - The following item types are supported by the function:
    DI_CHECKBOX, DI_RADIOBUTTON, DI_EDIT, DI_FIXEDIT, DI_LISTBOX,
    DI_COMBOBOX.
  
  - The following properties are loaded by the function:
     - For DI_CHECKBOX, DI_RADIOBUTTON: only index 6 ("Selected").
     - For DI_LISTBOX, DI_COMBOBOX: only  field "SelectIndex"
       of index 6 ("ListItems").
     - For DI_EDIT, DI_FIXEDIT: only index 10 ("Data").

  - Data are loaded to items whose names are identical to the names
    of the aData fields.

  - If an item has either of fields _noautoload or _noauto set to
    true, it is not loaded.

Example:
  local dlg = far2_dialog.NewDialog()
  dlg.cbxCase = {"DI_CHECKBOX",10,4,0,0, 0, "","",0, "&Case sensitive"}
  dlg.cbxWord = {"DI_CHECKBOX",10,5,0,0, 0, "","",0, "&Whole words"}
  far2_dialog.LoadData(dlg, {cbxCase=true, cbxWord=false})
