Adding Group Box Controls

A group box encloses a group of related controls with a rectangle. Example: The
Placement section on the Group Box Control Settings dialog box is a group box.
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.
See Editing Dialog Boxes
2. Select Add menu > Group Box.
The Group Box Control Settings dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box:
Group Box Text
Enter a name to appear at the top of the group box. Example: On the Group
Box Control Settings dialog box, "Placement" is the group box text.
Control Name
Enter the name by which you will refer to this control in the dialog box script.
Leave this blank if you will not manipulate this control with a script.
Transparent Background
Mark this to make the background for this control transparent.
X-Position / Y-Position

alignment commands to precisely arrange controls on the dialog box.
See Aligning and Spacing Dialog Box Controls
Note
A dialog unit is based on the size of the dialog font, usually 8-point MS Sans
Serif. A horizontal dialog unit is 1/4 the average width of the font and a vertical
dialog unit is 1/8 the average height of the font.
Width / Height
Specify the exact dimensions of the control in dialog units. You can also resize
controls by dragging their handles, though this is not as precise.
4. Click OK.

Adding Hot Text Controls

link to a Web page or to a different dialog box.) Hot text changes color and might also
become underlined as the mouse pointer passes over it.

See Editing Dialog Boxes
2. Select Add menu > Hot Text.
The Hot Text Control Settings dialog box appears.
