From a struggling TPW novice.....
1: How do I display a dialog resource in the MainWindow. Am I being
stubborn in not wanting to open a new dialog for this? The idea is an
Icon based menu that will open sub-menus/applications as dialogs; I want
to put the main menu (read: dialog resource) into the main window.
Suggestions?
2: To make changing the icon based menus easier, I wanted to place an
invisible button around a menu selection (an icon and static text). The
WRT will let me do this *once* by defining an owner draw button; the
program contains no code to handle the drawing requests. This works
once. The first button I create is invisible and works properly. Other
buttons, copied from the first, hide the icon and static text they sit
around when the program runs. The buttons work. Any suggestions?
3: Any TPW examples of OwnerDraw buttons out there? I can't follow the C
examples I've seen.
Please Email responses...I'll summarize if folks desire!
PS: Suggestions to buy the SDK manuals won't help much. I'm using TPW so I
could lazily avoid learning C. The C examples I've seen were just to
darn confusing! (I'm a reforming PICK programmer!)
