box, select the entire dialog by clicking on the title bar. The dialog should now be
highlighted. Next, move your mouse cursor to the highlighting at the edge of the
dialog. When the mouse cursor changes to an arrow, you can drag and drop the
sides of the dialog to the appropriate size.
Setting Control Attributes
The Dialog Editor has a variety of controls which can be selected to create a
customizable user interface.
To add a control:
Select the control from the icons on the Control toolbar. Or from the Insert menu,
select the appropriate control. When you select one of these menu items and move
the mouse cursor of your dialog, the cursor will change to a crosshairs. The cursor
indicates where the selected control will be created when you left click or press the
Enter key. Click the Unselect menu to cancel your selection and restore normal
function and appearance to the cursor.
Define attributes for a control:
Right-click on the control. Select Attributes... and fill in the information in
resulting dialog box about the control. The control may need a Variable name, a
Value or Text. Not all information will be needed for each control. When you've
finished, select the OK button.
After a control has been created in your dialog box you can move it, size it, or
delete it. To MOVE the control, click on it and drag it to a new position with the
left mouse button. To SIZE a control, click on the edge and drag with the left
mouse button. To DELETE a control, position the mouse over the control and
press the delete key.
Note: Some of the Controls require extra knowledge or special handling.
