First of all, since only one of the arrays is active at a time, it sounds like you 
want to use a 
radio group, rather than a checkbox.

IF you have a type such as 

type lbls
       ttl as string
       lbl (0) as string
end type

and global variables

dim dlg_lbl as lbls
dim dlg_one as logical
dim dlg_cat as smallint
dim dlg_sel as smallint

and you've filled in dlg_lbl,
then down in your dialog box code, you can do soemthing like 
this:

function MyDialog (cat as smallint, sel as smallint) as logical

dim rgttl as string
dim u as smallint
dim i as smallint
dim l as smallint
dim m as smallint
dim c as smallint
dim s as smallint

u = ubound (dlg_lbl)

if u = 0
   then MyDialog = FALSE
          exit function
end if
rgttl = dlg_lbl.ttl (1)
m = len (rgttl)
if u = 1
   then dlg_one = TRUE
   else dlg_one = FALSE
        for i = 2 to u
            rgttl = rgttl + ";"+dlg_lbl (i).ttl
            l = len (dlg_lbl (i).ttl)
            if l > m
               then m = l
            end if
        next
end if
if (cat <= 0) or (cat > m)
   then c = 1
        s = 1
   else c = cat
        if (sel <= 0) or (sel > ubound (dlg_lbl (c).lbl))
           then s = 1
           else s = sel
        end if
end if
dialog title "mydialog"
       calling mydialogenabler
       control statictext title rgttl
               ID 1
               width m*6 position 4, 4 hide
       control radiogroup title rgttl 
               ID 2 
               position 4, 4 
               disable hide
               calling chose_cat
               value dlg_cat      
               into cat
       control PopupMenu width 150
               title from variable dlg_lbl (dlg_cat)
               value i
               ID 3
               into sel
       control OKButton
       control CancelButton
MyDialog = CommandInfo (CMD_INFO_DLG_OK)
end function

sub MyDialogEnabler
if dlg_one
   then alter control 1 show
   else alter control 2 enable show
end if
end sub


sub chose_cat
alter control 3 title from variable dlg_lbl (ReadControlValue(2)).lbl value 1
end sub

Hi List,

A quick question: I have a dialog box with 6
checkbox's, every time a checkbox is clicked on I want
a specific array (I have 6 different arrays) to appear
depending on what checkbox was clicked (I used
triggercontrol for this). BUT, Everything in the alter
control code below works so that there is only 1 set
of code to control ALL six checkboxes. But depending
on which checkbox is activated, I want a different
array to be loaded into a popupmenu. How do I do this
without creating reams of code...I thought I could
use

Alter Control XXX Title From Variable Test(X) where
test contains the array names and X the stripped down
ID number of the checkbox, hence replacing Test(X)
with the correct array...it doesn't work..

Any ideas please? I don't want duplicate code and I
believe this method can work...it's all about
efficiency!

Sub CheckBoxHandler
Dim x as integer

X = TriggerControl()

Do Case X

           Case X
           If (ReadControlValue(X)) = 1 Then
           Alter Control left$(str$(X), 1) Title From Variable
**Variable**
           Alter Control left$(str$(X), 1) Show
                     StreetControl = TRUE
                     Else Alter Control left$(str$(X), 1) Hide
                                          StreetControl = FALSE
End If

End Case


End Sub
