I do this by making an enabled userItem in my dialog. I use the list
manager.  (Luckily for you, the default itemDrawProcedure in the list
manager shows strings. (I never use it myself, because I prefer an
SFGetFile style ... for long entries.))  I connect the update
procedure for the useritem to the listManager's update call, and since
the item is enabled, if the user clicks on it, I can detect that and
fall through into LClick.
