How to paint non modal dialogs using OutLook2003 Class

[RAMESHBABU]

Hi

I am trying to have an interface using OUTLOOK2003 Class. What I need is, when I click
on any one of the buttons like "Mail", "Calendar" or "Contacts", a nonmodal dialog having
some controls painted on it should popup on the client area of the window. And the nonmodal
dialog should be closed or hidden automatically when I click on any other button on the
OutLook2003.

Can anybody guide me who to accomplish this.

Thanks

Ramesh,

Here you have a working example:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "Splitter.ch"

static lExit := .F.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function Main()

   local oWnd, oOutLook2003, oStatusBar, oSplit, cCombo, oRad, nValue := 1
   local oFont

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "FWH new Class TOutLook2003" MDI // ;
      // MENU BuildMenu()

   DEFINE OUTLOOK2003 oOutLook2003 OF oWnd ;
      PROMPTS "Mail", "Calendar", "Contacts", "" ;
      BITMAPS "..\bitmaps\mail.bmp", "..\bitmaps\calendar.bmp", "..\bitmaps\notes.bmp"
     
   oOutLook2003:bChange = { | n, nPrevious | ShowDialog( n, nPrevious, oWnd ) }   

   ShowDialog( 1, 2, oWnd )
     
   oWnd:oLeft = nil // Because the splitter is going to control the resize   
     
   @ 1, 2 BUTTON "New" OF oOutLook2003:aDialogs[ 1 ] SIZE 80, 22 ACTION BuildDlg()
