Simple user prompt for a value in X++

If, in some X++ code, I need to quickly prompt the user for a value, a simple string if nothing else, what function should I use? I suppose I’m looking for something akin to:

x = InputBox(“Type in something:”) in VB.

Just a simple function/method to prompt the user for a string value. I realize that in finished polished production code that normally you'd have a form as an interface but a quick and dirty prompt asking the user to type something in still comes in handy sometimes. X++ must have something like that, kind of the inverse of PRINT or info().

Please let me know if I asking this in the wrong forum.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use the dialog class:
Simple example;
Dialog d;
DialogField df;
d = new Dialog("My Dialog");
df = d.addField(TypeID(yourEDT), "Enter Value");
