So why make it a modal dialog? Why not make it a regular dialog? This is not as crazy as it might first sound. On a Windows/Mac/Linux box, there's a huge difference between a modal and a non-modal dialog. The rest of the applications don't get events, the display can be frozen, etc. It seems to me that on a Palm Pilot, the difference to the user is simply the decoration around the box. Alternatively, if it *must* be a modal dialog, try out the preferences dialog on a tungsten (not the OS 5 Simulator which uses the old style). It uses pushbuttons as the tabs, and a listbox of items to select. tap on a pushbutton, and the list changes. Tap on a list item, and the control panel for that item is displayed. -Ken -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

In article 108330@palm-dev-forum, [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... How might I go about embedding a dropdown list in the title bar of a modal dialog? (And not make it look fugly... ;) I.e. I'll need to invert it every time it changes, etc. Has anyone done something like this before? I have a large number of options for a game I'm writing, and it needs to be grouped up. I need to keep as much space free for options as possible... Alternatives? Why not use a popup list box on upper right corner?
