This page seems to get very large. Maybe it should be splittet in more pages.
Im not very experienced with wiki editing, so maybe some 'admin' can do this ???

:I agree, it ''is'' pretty big. But I can't really think of a logical way to split it up...
:How about we make the (bigger) examples separate pages? --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 17:17, 25 November 2008 (CET)
::Maybe there can be a own page for each control, and only the links to the pages on this overview page?
::All pages should have the same suffix like "-control" or something like that. (HTML-control, StaticText-control....)

:::What about a Category: Dialog Control similar to the scripting commands where each command has its own page? --[[User:T D|T_D]] 15:44, 1 December 2008 (CET)
Sure, that would ''technically'' be the easiest way, but I'm not so crazy about that since, unlike commands, which are totally different from each other, controls share a lot of properties among each other, and a lot of definitions and explanations on the dialog page apply to several control types. This page is also somewhat of a mix between reference and tutorial (sort of like the [[Control Structures]] page), so you want to keep stuff together that's related, to make understanding the whole concept a bit easier.<BR>
I would much rather break it up ''hierarchically'' (i.e. have more general information on the main page, and deeper, more detailed information on a sub-page. That's why I suggested to split off the examples.)<BR>
IDEALLY though, if I had the time (or could find a volunteer) we should probably have only one big table listing the properties, rather than 10 different ones with 50% overlap. It just doesn't make sense listing 'IDC' or 'colorBackground' or 'x' & 'y' for each and every control, where they have the same function in every one of them.<BR>
Something like this:
{| border="1" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" |
! colspan="3" bgcolor="#bbbbff" | Properties
! colspan="6" bgcolor="#bbbbff" | Applies to
|-
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | Name
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | Type
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | Remark
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | ST
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | BU
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | AT
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | ST
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | TB
! bgcolor="#ddddff" | etc...
|-
| '''idc'''
| integer
| Unique ID number of this dialog.<br>Can be -1 if direct access to the dialog is not required.
