I am trying to display a dialog box that gives the user a message
during a time-consuming process. (i.e. doesn't require any user response)
I can't seem to get the text to show up in the box. I can't figure out
what I am supposed to do to get that to happen.
I am calling GetNewDialog to retrieve a template from the resource fork.
Am I supposed to call DrawDialog next or is GetNewDialog sufficient? (I
tried both ways, and neither worked.)
In case you're wondering, the DLOG *is* visible, and the Alert/Dialog
Editor shows it just the way I want it to.
At press time, I have abandoned the dialog approach and am using Windows
and DrawString. But I'd still like to know what I was supposed to do.
