FIX: Dialog Editor Will Not Change Custom Control Style PSS ID Number: Q67200 Article last modified on 08-29-1994

WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When editing a dialog box using the Dialog Editor supplied with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version 3.0, and the Dialog Editor makes a change to the style of a custom control, the control is not repainted to reflect the new style; however, the correct style bits are stored in the DLG and RES files.

= RESOLUTION =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Windows Dialog Editor version 3.0. The Software Library contains the file, DLGPATCH, which is a patch program that modifies the Dialog Editor .EXE file to correct this problem. The patch should be used only on the DIALOG.EXE file dated 6/01/90, file size 96720. Do not use it on any other version.

Download DLGPATCH.EXE, a self-extracting file, from the Microsoft Software Library (MSL) on the following services:


 * CompuServe GO MSL Search for DLGPATCH.EXE Display results and download
 * Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL Download DLGPATCH.EXE
 * Internet (anonymous FTP) ftp ftp.microsoft.com Change to the directory Get DLGPATCH.EXE

This problem was corrected in the Windows Dialog Editor version 3.1.
