I have an application where i would like to have a dialog box
whose configuration changes depending on the user settings,
kind of like the color palette in Photoshop.
Take a look at the example below. When i click on the circular
button, it switches the configuration of the dialog box from RGB
to CMYK. I would like to do something similar: have a button that
gives me a menu which i can then select which of the two modes
i want for the dialog box.
i don't think property sheets are the answer for me, because
in my understanding those are more often used for the tabs
(like in this case to switch between Color, Swatches and Styles.
Any ideas on how to do something like this properly?
You could define all controls in your dialog template, then show / hide them as needed.
