Bob,

Here is some code that I wrote. Put this in an event loop to handle two
buttons.


// begin code segment here
case ctlSelectEvent:
   switch(event->data.ctlEnter.controlID) {
      case buttonID_color:
         setDepth = 8;
         WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet, NULL, NULL, &setDepth, NULL);
         FrmDrawForm(FrmGetActiveForm());
         handled = true;
         break;

      case buttonID_gray:
         setDepth = 4;
         WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet, NULL, NULL, &setDepth, NULL);
         FrmDrawForm(FrmGetActiveForm());
         handled = true;
         break;

      default:
         handled = false;
         break;
   }
   break;

// end code segment here

Thanks,

Mike McCollister
