\nThe next step in the evolution of dialog templates is the\nExtended Dialog or DIALOGEX.\nFirst, let’s look at the 16-bit version.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe 16-bit extended dialog template is purely historical.\nThe only operating systems to support it were the Windows 95\/98\/Me series.\nIt is interesting only as a missing link in the evolution towards\nthe 32-bit extended dialog template.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe basic rules are the same as for the non-extended template.\nThe extended dialog template starts off with a different header:\n<\/p>\n
\nWORD wDlgVer; \/\/ version number - always 1\nWORD wSignature; \/\/ always 0xFFFF\nDWORD dwHelpID; \/\/ help ID\nDWORD dwExStyle; \/\/ window extended style\nDWORD dwStyle; \/\/ dialog style\nBYTE cItems; \/\/ number of controls in this dialog\nWORD x; \/\/ x-coordinate\nWORD y; \/\/ y-coordinate\nWORD cx; \/\/ width\nWORD cy; \/\/ height\n<\/pre>\n\nThe first two fields specify a version number (so far, only\nversion 1 extended dialogs have been defined), and a signature\nvalue 0xFFFF which allows this template to be distinguished\nfrom a non-extended dialog template.\n<\/p>\n
\nNext come two new fields.\nThe help identifier is an arbitrary 32-bit value that you can retrieve from the\ndialog later with the\n\nGetWindowContextHelpId<\/a> function.\nThe extended dialog style you’ve seen before.\n<\/p>\n
\nAs before, after the header come the strings.\nFirst comes the menu, then the class, then dialog title,\nall encoded the same way as with the non-extended template.\n<\/p>\n
\nIf the DS_SETFONT style is set, then a custom font exists\nin the template. The format of the font information is slightly\ndifferent for extended templates.\nIn classic templates, all you get is a WORD of point size and\na font name. But in the extended template, the font information\nis a little richer:\n<\/p>\n
\nWORD wPoint; \/\/ point size\nWORD wWeight; \/\/ font weight\nBYTE bItalic; \/\/ 1 if italic, 0 if not\nBYTE bCharSet; \/\/ character set (see CreateFont<\/a>)\nCHAR szFontName[]; \/\/ variable-length\n<\/pre>\n\nNew fields are the weight, character set, and whether the font is italic.\n<\/p>\n
\nAfter the header come the dialog item templates, each of which\nlooks like this:\n<\/p>\n
\nDWORD dwHelpID; \/\/ help identifier\nDWORD dwExStyle; \/\/ window extended style\nDWORD dwStyle; \/\/ window style\nWORD x; \/\/ x-coordinate (DLUs)\nWORD y; \/\/ y-coordinate (DLUs)\nWORD cx; \/\/ width (DLUs)\nWORD cy; \/\/ height (DLUs)\nDWORD wID; \/\/ control ID\nCHAR szClassName[];\/\/ variable-length (possibly ordinal)\nCHAR szText[]; \/\/ variable-length (possibly ordinal)\nWORD cbExtra; \/\/ amount of extra data\nBYTE rgbExtra[cbExtra]; \/\/ extra data follows (usually none)\n<\/pre>\n\nThis takes the classic item template and adds the following:\n<\/p>\n
\n
- New dwHelpID and dwExStyle fields.\n
- dwStyle field moved.\n
- control ID expanded to DWORD.\n
- cbExtra expanded to WORD.\n<\/ul>\n
\nNot that expanding the control ID to a 32-bit value accomplishes much\nin 16-bit Windows, but it’s there nonetheless.\n<\/p>\n
\nAnd that’s all.\n<\/p>\n
\nNow the obligatory annotated hex dump.\n<\/p>\n
