  34.     DESCRIPTION:
  35.  
  36.         This function dynamically positions dialog pushbuttons across
  37.         the bottom of a dialog box.  It is useful in cases where
  38.         different pushbuttons appear in different circumstances.
  39.  
  40.         For example, you may have a dialog box like the following:
  41.  
  42.         +---------------------------------+
  43.         |                                 |
  44.         |               ...               |
  45.         |                                 |
  46.         |                                 |
  47.         |  +----+  +--------+  +-------+  |
  48.         |  | Ok |  | Cancel |  | Print |  |
  49.         |  +----+  +--------+  +-------+  |
  50.         |                                 |
  51.         +---------------------------------+
  52.  
  53.         In some cases you may want the dialog box to appear without
  54.         the Print pushbutton.  You can use the same dialog box template
  55.         but hide the Print button in the WM_INITDLG message processing.
  56.         Then the box will look like this:
  57.  
  58.         +---------------------------------+
  59.         |                                 |
  60.         |               ...               |
  61.         |                                 |
  62.         |                                 |
  63.         |  +----+  +--------+             |
  64.         |  | Ok |  | Cancel |             |
  65.         |  +----+  +--------+             |
  66.         |                                 |
  67.         +---------------------------------+
  68.  
  69.         The remaining buttons are not evenly spaced, but you can call
  70.         PlaceDialogButtons which moves them so that they appear as
  71.         follows:
  72.  
  73.         +---------------------------------+
  74.         |                                 |
  75.         |               ...               |
  76.         |                                 |
  77.         |                                 |
  78.         |      +----+      +--------+     |
  79.         |      | Ok |      | Cancel |     |
  80.         |      +----+      +--------+     |
  81.         |                                 |
  82.         +---------------------------------+
  83.  
  84.         Before calling the function you allocate an array containing
  85.         the button identifiers.  The code to position the buttons
  86.         looks like this:
  87.  
  88.             PSHORT          aidButtons;
  89.  
  90.             aidButtons    = malloc (2 * sizeof (SHORT));
  91.             aidButtons[0] = DID_OK;
  92.             aidButtons[1] = DID_CANCEL;
  93.             PlaceDialogButtons (hab, hwndDlg, 2, aidButtons);
  94.             free (aidButtons);
  95.
