Is there way to display windows dialog box with D?
My attempts to create a dialog box without dialog template failed and I 
don't know how to create/link one for D... What I can think of is to 
create a dll with dialog resources and load them in D. But this is

To create a modal dialog without using a template you call CreateWindow with 
an owner, add the controls you need and then loop and process messages by 
hand. See for example the Dialog class in MinWin 
http://home.comcast.net/~benhinkle/minwin/.
If you just want a warning or error dialog you can just call MessageDialog, 
too.

What do you mean by "dialog template"?

AIUI, in the Windows API documentation "template" is pretty much 
synoymous with "resource".  So if you're meaning this, then not only is 
creating a dll with dialog resources kind-a-ugly, it's also out of your 
question.

OTOH, if you mean something else, why not just link the resources 
directly into the EXE, as is the normal way?

Stewart.
