I recently upgraded to THINK Pascal 3.0 and have been looking into what it will take to port some existing applications to TCL. A ubiquitous feature of most Mac applications is the dialog box. There does not appear to be a class in TCL that maps into the Dialog Manager. I've noticed that the very nice sample application, Art Class, does not use dialogs. I appreciate that the equivalent of a dialog can be created with controls in a window, but then one looses the ease of laying out dialogs with ResEdit. What is the "correct" way of implementing dialogs in TCL? What approaches have TCL programmers tried? Has anyone implemented a Dialog Class? Based on a new resource type that brings together the new TCL resources (Pano, ScPn, etc) with existing control resources? Has anyone written a ResEdit Editor or a standalone application to create these resources ala WYSIWYG? Herb Poppe NCAR hpoppe@ncar.ucar.edu 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80307-3000 (303) 497-1296
