what about something like that
u got a dialog
but u wanna add another one to this dialog

hm cant find the right words

/dialog -e <dialog that should be added> <dialog where the otherone should be attached>

it would make it possible to add a dialog to another
usefull in customizing scripts or adding features to an existing script

Well Windows doesn't have an "add another dialog to this one" function.

no i mean the items in the 2nd dialog should be added to the 1st one

Well where should they be placed? What if the first dialog already has a control where the second one does?

Dialogs are open source. Simply edit the dialog rather than trying to ammend it with some plug-in style script. However, we can only hope that /did allows more dynamic object creation and placement in the next version, which will allow you to do exactly what you're asking.

I just read a post on classes, and i saw teh extends, and i got my hopes up.

Perhaps we could get a bit of inheritence happening with dialogs?

At the moment you can create several dialog tables from one definition....

what about:
dialog frog {
;..default code..
}
dialog ribbit extends frog {
;add buttons etc
;change title
}

And wehnever ribbit is called the tables get merged, with duplicate did's overwriting each other.
