I'd like to use Jay Hodgdon's ShowDialog XCMD to add dialog boxes to an application written in FoxBASE. I could do the dialogs as SCREENs in Fox, but this saves me some programming. I've gotten the XCMD to work fine from FoxBASE. There are a couple of things i want to do, however, that don't appear to be possible with ShowDialog, although i may be misunderstanding something: 1. A dialog with just 3 radio buttons, an "OK" button, and a "Cancel" button. ShowDialog type 3 can provide these but seems to require an editable text field (I tried to make the field small or off-screen, but it crashed!). 2. A dialog with two editable text fields, to which i pass 2 default values. Type 2 allows more than one editable field, but only accepts one default entry. I can include defaults for the others when editing the DITL resource in ResEdit, but can't modify them on the fly that way. There are other things as well, but these are the most important. Also: the author lists addresses on CIS, GEnie, and MacNet. Can these be reached via Internet? Please e-mail replies, and i'll summarize to the net. Thanks! -- - Scott
