- A desk accessory I wrote currently uses SFGetFile with the standard
- dialog. I'd like to extend the dialog by adding a text field. The
- documentationof SFGetFile in Inside Mac Vol I says I need to define a
- DLOG with id -4000 in my application. However, a resource with id
- -4000 can't be owned by a DA. It appears that one can't extend
- SFGetFile dialogs used by DAs.
-
- I could get around this problem by converting my DA to an application.
- This would be fine for System 7 users, but might cause problems for
- some of my users who use System 6 w/o Multifinder.
-
- If anyone has gotten past this problem in a safe, general manner, I'd
- like to hear how you did it.
-
- Thanks,
- Barry
