hi, how do i determine if the contents of the dialog are changed from the initial values. i have edit boxes, check boxes, etc. after initialization of the dialog with the default values, how do i determine if the contents of the dialog are changed?

hi indrawati, in your case, the important thing is that what do your variables do. if there are required to be common for all the objects of the particular class, ie they share the same values, then u will have to use them as static. if this is the case then there should be no problem in the design

hi, i have a group control on a dialog box. this group control has two edit boxes. i have written code to resize the dialog box and all the controls along with it. the problem is that when i move the group control, the controls within it move twice, once with the group control and the next time individually. this is causing the movement of the edit boxes to be seen twice causing some kind of flickering? also can u tell me how i can move all the controls within the dialog box simultaneously. right now i move each of the controls along with the resizing of the dialog box but there is some time lag in the movement of each of the controls. can any one tell me a solution?:confused:
