well, this is a very tricky point. in fact, you can do $Window->Dialog() (there is very little that you can't do), but it's just that *usually*, *most of the times*, this is not what you want. I was using $Window->Dialog() and it seemed to work fine, until I implemented Comboboxes. drop-down Comboboxes use their own windows, so if you have a drop-down Combobox in your $Window and you called $Window->Dialog, the drop-down box will not show at all (it will be blank and unresponsive to user input). so I stated that doing $Window->Dialog is wrong, because it produces undesiderable effects. however, if you are not using drop-down Comboboxes, this may be just what you want ;-) cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;
