Dialog Box Editor

[Macro Editor Screenshot] The Dialog Box Editor is an adjunct to the Macro Editor for editing dialog boxes that are part of any GUI. Even a simple extension like the source code integration requires a dialog box. It works much like most graphical GUI editors. You can add objects - buttons, checkboxes, strings, and so on. You can then move them around, and set their properties. Just like the Preferences facilities, they can be used to run whatever macro you wish. I found it to be a bit odd about placement, and hard to get things aligned just right. Working with it day in and day out would be a problem, but for the occasional extension that needs a dialog box, it's perfectly acceptable.
