Simple Input Dialog

Summary

Below is an example demonstrating how to construct a simple input dialog, name it so that its size and position are stored uniquely from other script constructed dialogs, and size it according the current style applied to the user interface. This example also demonstrates how to retrieve the value input by the user and react according to whether the user accepts or cancels.
