Virtual B:

The easiest way to create custom dialogs is to: 
1: Create a .RC file description of your dialog box using a text editor.
2: Compile the .RC file and .H into a .RES file.
3: Download http://www.rapideuphoria.com/win32eru.zip
4: Use my win32eru program to the .RES file compile into a euphoria include
   .E file. This file will generate win32 code to create the dialog box.

You can use win32eru and this method to create any resource.  

If you don't have one you can download a FREE resource compiler from here :
