OK, im finally getting into windows programming and making windows popup with little buttons.. im so proud of myself. But ne ways, is there a way to tell Visual Studio to not give me the wierd tools to mess with the Message/Dialog Box, but insteads switch it so that i can just type in what i want to be in my resource file, instead of clicking on some little boxes saying - True, False, or writing in what i want. It helps me learn something when i have to do all the typing and stuff, not just clicking on true, and having the minimize botton come up. I like having to put STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU instead of clicking on True for each thing. Is there anyway to make it go back to the text design instead of the ''Visual'' design method without having to go to VS 6.0 or anything? Thanks for the help, and i think i confused myself a little more asking the long question. Thank you Nefrugle

Thank you for the tip, i will give it a try latter tonight.
