Examples > Question Boxes

Question boxes are implemented as a number of types of infobox, which are not real ‘images’ but which can be used to collect information from the caller and to control the course of the call. Though we use the generic name ‘question box’ for this type of infobox, not all of these infoboxes actually cause a question to be asked of the caller; some are used to process the results of the question.

Each .IIF file used in a question box sequence should start with a $type command which specifies the type of infobox box it is.
