I wrote a crude, badly documented modal dialog handler in Lightspeed C
which allows you to use dialog boxes for data entry (check boxes,
radio buttons, textedit boxes for entering numbers and text, etc.)
and program control (you can have a certain routine executed when
a certain button is pushed, etc.)

The nice thing about it is that you set up the dialog box with your
favorite resource creation tool (which is, of course, resedit) and
in your C code, you have a data structure which contains the
types of each item, pointers to where the data should go, and
pointers to the function to be executed (optional).

The handler is included in the source for the Orbit program
archived on sumex.
