Re: Win32lib dialogs within proc's
Ah i see, There is another way, but i dont know if it will work for you.
There are other dialogs that windows has builts in, some that are not in
win32lib, I have used them before but i am not sure of there names anymore,
I got them from the windows refrence from the MS web site. I think that
windows will provide you with what you need, If i new just what data you
want from the user i could give some/full code for that piece. I too dislike
the way data is handled in windows API prigramming...I look forward to
helping you, I am in need of a change of venue....
