Converting Visual to Classic

Well, in fact that's what you do (more or less) when linking the library statically (the default option).

Hey Ramon,

I also like the development environment.  Not so much the VB interface but thats just personal preference.  I thought I would point out from an earlier post of yours:

or managing the <Tab> key to navigate through them

You dont have to do this manually if you dont want to.  In the main window message pump add a call to IsDialogMessage and this will do it for you which will reduce your "run-time" file size.

IsDialogMessage:

Although the IsDialogMessage function is intended for modeless dialog boxes, you can use it with any window that contains controls, enabling the windows to provide the same keyboard selection as is used in a dialog box.

Hi Maelstrom,

Yes, you are right but there are some problems using that API call. For example, you never get access to some keys (<Tab>, <Esc>, <Return>).
