You could create something like a "calling shell" that can be parametrized with the "personalization" data, and retrieves the results. But that's certainly not a "controller" of that kind. The dialog itself is a self-contained subform. > But I agree with you, it is not really needed for the fontdialog, it is I'd even question the need for a few other dialogs, particularly the _file_ dialog. Perhaps the plan was to have an input-edit-like widget for quick file specifications - did you ever use or want to use such a thing? Yes, there are some uses for something like that, but just "firing up" a full fledged file dialog and processing its eventual result isn't much more effort, and most applications I know even just use the system file manger as such a "dialog". Even Windows does. Other examples for such things are the color dialog, the popup calendar or the memo dialog. Only the family of drop-down components has a valid use for the controller concept, IMHO. > more needed for visual component like pannels, stringedit, etc... A string edit doesn't need a controller - it's a component for building a dialog, and maybe a "controller". This also applies to all the -enter "dialogs", they're mere components for building dialogs. And, BTW, if you look at the "dialog" section of the component palette, the only _real_ dialog found there ist the file dialog. All the rest are mere - but nonetheless neccessary - building blocks for dialog forms. BTW, the color dialog doesn't even appear on the component palette. > So ok, sorry for the noise. No, THIS kind of noise is neccessary - this is a quite basic issue, and has to be discussed thoroughly to be resolved right. After all, I may be wrong with my opinion as I'm just judging from my needs and preferences. Others might have a quite different view of this issue, and might want it handled differently. This should be discussed and decided unanimously. Thank you for all your effort and cooperation, and have a good time! -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
