 Question: In a dialog box with several different type of controls like -
	   edit controls, radio buttons, list boxes, how does one find 
           out what the user might have choosen?

 As in other standard dialog(s), the only way to exit is by choosing "OK" or
 "CANCEL" buttons, at the beginning i was taking care of updating all the 
 fields in the dialog as soon as the user hits OK, but then i realised that
 (s)/he might not want to use all the fields in the dialog -- right? 

 I have tried the following: for a edit control type when the one tries to
 change the value (EN_CHANGE message) i set the flag, but apparently this flag 
 being set every time i enter the dialog -- why is this happening? 'm i missing
 something ? What should i do if user clicks in that region?
 
 Hope the problem is clear. If anybody have any ideas/ suggestions for this,
 please send me an e-mail

 Thanks
