That's a very nice overview. Maybe add just one example on how to read the diagram, e.g. "StaticTexts has a read-only property 'id', rea-only proprty 'index', a read-only property 'parent', a read/write property minWidth, etc." Whether it actually simplifies the writing of dialogs I don't know. What I found helpful is a big dialog that I created back in ID3 times, which has virtually every possible dialog item I thought I might ever need. So when I need a particular item, I display the dialog, identify the item I want, then load the script and look up the line(s) I want. I still use it when I need a dialog. But then, I tend to avoid them so whenever I do need one, it's like starting all over. Peter
