Can any one decode this :

Nope. It's a complete mystery to me. Smile

that section of the help file appears to be the only place that DLGTYPE is mentioned...hence not much light can be shed by looking for other occurences of that word

I seem to recall there was a DLGTYPE "element" in VDS 2 Smile

Ah, the joys of youth! The ability to remember back that far... Smile

But by using that "element", you can set the style to all other elements on the dialog? Smile

Could be useful... Smile

DLGTYPE is indeed a leftover from the VDS 2x help file.
It allowed dialog styles (in VDS 2.5 32-bit anyway) such
as SAVEPOS, DRAGDROP, NOSYS, NOMIN, ONTOP and
SMALLCAP.

These of course are now available as parameters for
DIALOG CREATE in VDS 3x and later. Wink

OK, Mac! When you can call that to mind, is it

LOL Dread, Razz

Actually I remembered that question had come up before
(but I did hafta check the VDS 2x help file for the params). Wink
