Hi,

I now also faced a similar problem. I want to access dialogs in another document via Starbasic so that I don't have to include them in the document in which I use the dialog. I can access the BasicLibraries but there is no DialogLibraries available. When I use getLibraryContainer.DialogContainer I get the null value in return.

Can you roughly estimate when this will be possible?

Thanks!

Regards
Helge

Hi Andreas,

Documents support a property "BasicLibraries" referencing
the document's Basic library container.
But a corresponding "DialogLibraries" property is missing.
The reason is that there's nearly no use in accessing dia-
log libraries by API because the content type is a XInput-
StreamProvider interface providing access to the dialog's
XML representation. This can only be used by a dialog loa-
der that is accessible via C++ API only.
But your copying scenario of course makes sense, so the
"DialogLibraries" property is a missing feature. But proba-
bly it will be available soon as it has become important in
a completely different context.


can you tell us a CWS and a target milestone for this issue?

Converting dozens of templates with VB-UserForms could be automated, if you write the UserForm properties in xml-files (msxml2) and then build all the dialogs in ott-templates dynamically with the new api and sax or dom and store them to the documents. Even tabstrips/multipages could be reproduced by setting the step- property for the controls corresponding to the page number. Of course you need a conversion table for height/width/position properties.
And last, wouldn't this be a task for the import filter?

Regards

Peter
