OK, the extra comma added in the GROUP element stops
it from working in VDS3, so I went back and edited both
examples again. They have the GROUP for both VDS3 and
VDS4, just use the one you need.

The GROUP element is the first thing I've ran across that
can't have the extra comma and still work in VDS3. Confused

You can give BITBTNS a name just like regular buttons:

DIALOG ADD,BITBTN,B1,30,60,80,24,,Button," This is a Button "

The examples now have names and captions also.

You really should look in the VDS help file. Press the
help button, choose "Contents", select the "Index" tab,
then scroll down to the "dialog elements", or you can
type in "dialog elements" (without quotes).

This explains what the different parameters are for each element.
For example, here's the BITBTN explanation:

BITBTN,<name>,<top>,<left>,<width>,<height>,<filename>,{<caption>,<hint>}

BTW, the BITBTN element is designed to use bitmaps for
the button (filename parameter), but you can also use
them without one... Wink

Does that work for VDS 3.51?

No, I don't think it does. Sorry.
