Does anybody know a substitute for the brain-dead Dialog Box Editor of the Windows SDK 2.1 ? This program always changes the positions of some controls on our boxes itself after loading/saving the files and this looks very ugly. Also, somtimes it crashes (god knows why) and makes serious errors in repainting the boxes after changes in the styles. Kai Uwe Rommel Munich rommel@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de

I haven't used the SDK dialog editor, so I can't comment on that. I use the Whitewater Resource Toolkit from The Whitewater Group (600 Davis Street, Evanston, Illinois 60201 USA; list price $195 US) for resource editing. In addition to a dialog editor, it includes editors for bitmaps, cursors, icons, accelerators, menus, and strings. I find it invaluable when I need it. -- Peter /----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Peter A. Whipple | whipple@sun.acs.udel.edu | ACIT / R&D | "Methane?

Yep. The Whitewater Resource Toolkit. Our dialog box editor is really nice, plus the Toolkit has a menu editor, bitmap editor (color and greater than 90 x 90), icon editor, cursor editor, menu editor, accelerator table editor, and string table editor. It can create new resources and save them as script files, res files, or it can save the directly into the EXE. It can also read resources directly from the EXE. You can e-mail me an address and I can send literature about this product. -- "Organized fandom is composed of a bunch of nitpickers with a thing for trivial pursuit." -Harlan Ellison
