When a button shows a Form in Dialog with a text field, how do I show the menu bar and allow text formatting in the text field?

In the FID invocation, set ‘showTextToolbar’ to TRUE:

```auto
.showFormInDialog( form, [x], [y], [width], [height], [dialogTitle], [resizable], [showTextToolbar], [windowName], [modal] )

```
