References to correct #documentation, Petzold examples, are good too. Windows in a dialog box? Sick, twisted, documented, and easy. :-) The specifics are in the Reference Volume 2 (around 7-35). Look up the specifics regarding the creation (indirectly) of a dialog box, and you will find that the dialog template structure includes a slot for an asciiz string which specifies the menu (which you compile in with the resource compiler). Be warned, so far as I can tell, you can't use the arrow keys to shift from menu to menu to like you can in a normal window, but Alt-(char) works just fine... --Dave -- Dave Weinstein Internet: dweinste@isis.cs.du.edu Disclaimer: You aren't serious, are you? dweinste@gnu.ai.mit.edu In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, "Let there be Light." And there was still nothing. But, you could see it.
