Hello, I would like to ask a few questions about controls in dialogs. 1. I you want to set the font of a standard button to the window font, you must add 8 to the var code. But is there a way of having such a standard control in a DITL without having a CNTL resource ? I guess that the DITL does not contain the variation code so such a thing is not possible, but who knows? 2. Other wise, is there a way of modifying the var code when the control has been created (i.e. when the dialog has been created using the corresponding DITL)? I think that the var code doesn't appear in the ControlRecord (well, where is it then?). Tnx for answering, Hugues. -- e+ ----> :-) <---- e- e-mail : Les Chercheurs de Bosons Unifies marty@cernvax.cern.ch

Warning, plug coming. If you use the Default CDEF you can set a button to use the window font by adding a curly f to the end of the button title. This lets you actually see what the dialog will look like in ResEdit and edit it there. You can also change between the window font and the system font on the fly by changing the button title.

According to IM-I, pages 328-9, the var code is stored in the high byte of the contrlDefProc field of the control record. I don't see why you couldn't change it once the dialog has been created. But maybe this information is out of date. Anyone know about a change in the way var codes are handled? -Dan Velleman
