While thinBasic allows you to define and use dialogs via Win32-like low level approach, it also introduces the concept of the dialog Pseudo-objects.

 

These entities behave like objects (have methods and properties), allow processing of events and make the whole process of dialog manipulation much easier, than the low level Win32 route:

 

frmMain.X = 10

frmMain.Y = 10

frmMain.Title = "Hello World"

 

How do you create dialog pseudo-object variable?

 

They are created for you in the following cases:

oDIALOG NEW created dialog from #RESOURCE (then dialog pseudo-object named as the dialog is created for given dialog)

oDIALOG NEW has NAME parameter specified (then dialog pseudo-object named as NAME specifies is created for given dialog)
