IM gives the conventions for numbering resources that are owned by a desk
accessory, and warns that your desk accessory may be renumbered. Resource
ID's have to be recalculated from your DA's ID. The FONT/DA Mover renumbers
your DA's resources, but it doesn't change, for instance, the DITL ID stored in
a DLOG or ALRT resource. Short of modifying the resources in place in the
resource file before calling GetNewDialog() or Alert(), is there any way to
get around this problem?
(I'm converting an application to a DA, and want to avoid, say, getting rid of
all GetNewDialog() and Alert() calls.)
Replies via mail or this group welcome. Thanks.

As of Font/DA Mover 3.3, DITL id numbers _for DITLs imbedded in DLOGs or ALRTs_ will be renumbered properly. (That is, they will be given the same number as the owner). Thus, at runtime, all you have to do is recalculate the id numbers. > (I'm converting an application to a DA, and want to avoid, say, getting rid of > all GetNewDialog() and Alert() calls.) Gee, do you really need them? :-) > --David Maymudes > maymudes%husc4@harvard.ARPA maymudes@husc4.harvard.edu > maymudes@husc4.UUCP maymudes@HARVUNXU.BITNET > ...{sesimo, harpo, ihnp4, linus, allegra, ut-sally}!harvard!husc4!maymudes > davidm@harvarda.BITNET Bob Hablutzel Wildwood Software BOB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU

Yes it does. See Tech Note #23. It changes DITL id's in DLOGs and ALRTs, ICON, PICT, and CNTL IDs in DITLs, and MDEF ids in MENUs.
