Dialog resources

In PE files, dialog resources have this type: RT_DIALOG[#5]. To edit dialogs, Radialix 2 offers a visual designer.

The designer allows you to use the mouse to move and resize controls, as well as resize a dialog itself. You can select and edit more than one control. To do so, simply make a selection with the mouse, or hold down CTRL when you make a click.

As you do editing, the designer can resize and snap controls to the guide lines or grid (“Use snap lines” and “Snap to grid” options in the context menu of the designer). Similar commands for a group of selected elements are available in the context menu of the designer.

The dialog designer also allows the user to insert user text (static control). To do so, go to Control>Insert... Elements added to the project by the user are labeled as Added by user (U). You can delete these elements from the context menu of the designer.

All properties of the controls, as well as the dialog itself are available in the properties inspector. On top of the inspector, there is a drop-down list, which contains the list of all dialog controls. This list is very convenient when the user cannot select the required element in the designer (for example, if a control is not displayed due to incorrect coordinates).
