[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Default values in a dialog box

juana@dciem.dciem.dnd.ca (Juana Chang) (03/13/90)

Is there a way to place default values into an editable item in a dialog
box.  So when you first invoke the dialog box there are default values
already in the editable item.  I'm guessing that one way of doing it is to
place the default values in the resource file and after the GetNewDialog to
grab the values from the resource file and place it in the editable item
area.

Is this correct?

If so, how do you write new default values back into the resource file?

Sigh... Alot of tasks seem to revolve around knowing the how, whats, whens
and wheres of resource files.  I guess it'll be asking too much, but are
there any manuals or documentation on learning about resource files?

Thanks in advance for any help.
