- Item #1 gets framed automatically in Alerts but NOT in Dialogs. ResEdit
- doesn't show the frame because it's not really displaying your Alert but
- rather "faking" it's final appearance. I use Resorcerer and it will show
- the border around item #1 in an alert; it will also draw the appropriate
- icon in a Stop, Note, or Caution alert.
- BTW, Resorcerer has en excellent dialog editor that even lets you preview
- list items. It will also generate C code for your dialog, including framing
- the OK button and dealing with lists and radio button groups.
