#!N #!N It is possible to customize Control Panels so that 
they appear as dialog boxes. This is intended for building applications 
to be used in -image or -menubar mode (i.e., with the 
Image window or menu bar as the anchor window). The appearance 
of the dialog box can be modified with the options  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Label #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Separator #!EF under  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Add Element #!EF 
in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Edit #!EF pull-down menu of the Control Panel. 
These will add the specified element to the panel at the 
point where the mouse cursor is positioned. Separators can be made 
vertical using the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Set Layout #!EF option of the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Edit #!EF menu. The size of the separator can be controlled 
using the mechanism described in  #!Lreszint,dxall394 h Resizable Interactors.  #!EL  . The color and font 
of labels can be specified using the dialog box that appears 
when the label is created. These can be changed by selecting 
the label and choosing  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Set Attributes #!EF from the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Edit #!EF menu of the Control Panel. #!N #!N Once the 
Control Panel has been created, select  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Dialog Style #!EF in 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Options #!EF pull-down menu to create the dialog box. 
The size of the box will vary to accommodate the interactors. 
The empty canvas to the right of the interactors will be 
truncated. The placement of the interactors will also change if the 
box size is changed, to maintain the same relative positions. In 
-editor mode, the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Close #!EF button returns to an editable 
Control Panel. In -image or -menubar mode the,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Close #!EF 
button closes the dialog box. To enable a "dialog style" dialog 
box, save the visual program with the Control Panel in dialog-style 
format. #!N #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N  #!Lcpa,dxall404 h Control Panel Access, Groups, and Hierarchies  #!EL
