Have you considered looking at ExtDlgs.pas - this is the source to the
TOpenPicture / TSavePicture dialogs. It is a very good example of how you
can create Delphi controls for use on a non-Delphi form / dialog. You might
be able to replace your combobox with the Delphi TCombobox component.

I agree. Delphi ought to have a resource workshop "built in". Given the
extensible nature of Delphi, this shouldn't be too difficult for Borland to
do. BTW, the various versions of the resource workshop in Borland C++ also
have their bugs, some of which carry from version to version. What we need
is a *REAL* resource editor. Any takers?
