- Hi,
-
- I'm quite a novice to Borlands OWL and have a question that I cannot
- answer by myself although I read the OWL manual back and forth (maybe
- I'm not smart enough or the manual is not that good (german
- translation)).
-
- Here is what I want to do:
-
- I have defined a dialog resource in the resource manager that I want to
- call from a main menu in the main window or from somewhere in the
- program. It's a dialog that is used to browse through a database and
- allows changes in it.
- What is the proper way to implement this kind of dialog? I would think
- it ok if I created the whole dialog once and then call it as needed. But
- I'm not sure how to do this: must I use ExecDialog or MakeWindow? or
- something else?
-
- I'm sorry if this sounds confused but so am I :-)
-
- Maybe a hint to a publication that is more explicit about modal and
- non-modal dialogs would be a way to help me too.
-
- please answer by e-mail if possible, since I don't read this newsgroup
- often.
-
- Thanks in Advance
-
- Andreas
