Hi Rick
You will note in the skeleton I gave you that all you have to do is name
each dialog to correspond to the page you want it for.
Just save a copy of each object in the global section before using them.
Then when you open that dialog you have a copy for closing and refreshing and
all that stuff.
Just save or make a dialog for each page, have it point to it's own
respective function routine to decide on event processing then you should be
all set for what you want.
Just look at the skeleton and the main menu, then the launched menu, and
add more as you see fit, depending on what you want to do.
You can also create a temp file and such for your editing and those things
are also in that skeleton.

Subject: User Help Dialogs
Hi: I want to have help dialogs for each page, form, a user might encounter.
I also think it cool to allow users to modify the Help File if they have any
personal notes or insights. To this end I could use a TextBox and add features
like a typical Text Editor or save the files as .txt files and have them open
in the user's default Text Editor. Do you have any comments on either method?
I have some code that allows some limited functionallity using a standard
TextBox so would not have to do too much coding to turn it into something like
I am thinking about and yet, a full Text Editor like NotePad has more features
and is more familiar to most users.
Later:
P.S. This app is in VB.net and not a WE controlled Application so not in vbs
and would not require the standard WE UI control set.
