Title: any old books on dialogs?
Post by: thomas_remkus on June 03, 2010, 06:21:09 PM
Are there any good books (even old ones) that cover dialogs in detail? I'm looking for anything, but really looking for how to parent dialogs inside dialogs (wizard style <next, back>) so the shell is complete and the details are managed as needed. Thanks! C/C++ material are both fine because I'll be using MASM for the end result and these read just fine.

Thomas,

RC.HLP is still a reasonable reference for the resource dialogs and as long as you work with the actual window handles, you can nest dialogs with no problems at all.

Wizards are done the same way as property sheets - you just supply the dialogs for each page, which gets embedded into the wizard dialog.

   Hutch... are there any known links to rc.hlp? I searched and found one in c programming which redirected to a file sharing site but the file was missing. Thanks for the help. Here goes a dialog example.
