Canada Lines: 10 In Inside Mac, Vol I, the chapter on the dialog manager, it is stated the the dialog item list (in memory) for a modal dialog contains handles to the text associated with it's editText items--then gives no way to get a copy of these handles! Anyone know how to do this? (I don't want to use GetIText, as I don't want to extract the text, I want the actual handle to the text.) Thanks, Ken McDonald mcdonald@cs.sfu.ca
