[Venster-users] CreateDialogIndirect success!

[Brad C. <bk...@mu...>]

Finally I have a prototype dynamic dialog module. It allows one to create dialogs 
entirely from Python, without using a resource .dll

I haven't been able to get Ex templates to work, but older style DialogTemplates appear 
to work.

I altered the Dialog class to accept a dialog template. I'd like to see Dialog also support 
modeless Dialogs.

I can recreate the test_dialog.py display using the code shown below. Whats the best 
way to integrate this into venster? Should this be a lib item, wtl, ??

Also, there's more constants that need to go somewhere. I'm worried that putting all 
these constants into windows.py will make that module huge. Should we split up 
constants into different modules based on functional groups?

    IDC_EDIT_A = 1000
    IDC_EDIT_B = 1001
    IDC_BUTTON_SUM = 1002
    IDC_EDIT_SUM = 1003
    IDC_EDIT_EVAL = 1004
    IDC_EDIT_EVAL_RES = 1006

    items = (
        DefPushButton(title="OK", id=IDOK,
                   rcPos=RECT(left=130,top=185,right=50,bottom=14)),
        
        PushButton(title="Cancel", id=IDCANCEL,
                   rcPos=RECT(left=185,top=185,right=50,bottom=14)),
        
        GroupBox(title="Sum:",rcPos=RECT(5, 7, 230, 58)),

                     title = "Venster Test Dialog",

    dialogResult= dialog.DoModal()
