hey i posted about a week ago asking about how i could constantly update a dialog for a progress indicator thing, and david's response worked pretty well... thx a lot :) now i have two more questions :) 1. how come when i repeatedly do an edit_dialog() the cancel button on the dialog flickers? can i stop this? (remember i just changed the watch_keys() routine so that if a WAIT_FOR_KEY was set to 0, it would just return -1 instead of waiting for a key press) everything else about it works perfectly!! 2. how can i make/use a control without creating a dialog for it. i realise this is what you (david cuny) did to make ee, and i looked through ee.ex and many of the gui libraries but i still can't figure out how you did it!! so far what i have is (something like) this: sequence mle mle = new_control(MLE) mle[TITLE] = "Blah" -- set many different attributes for the MLE here except now i have no idea how to display the mle, or how to redraw it if another dialog is put on top of it, etc. help me plz?? :) thx -- Mike Burrell http://mikpos.base.org/ burrellm at geocities.com
