Hi Jibe,

In C++, the only difference between struct and class are in default access right to the members. Class has private members as defualt, struct uses public, otherwise the behavior is the same. So using struct for dialogs in U++ is just laziness to write class XYZ{ public: ... } Wink

You can of course use whatever form you like better, there is no functional difference.

The CLASSNAME could be equally well STRUCTNAME (or ASFDGFSDGSDFG or whatever else Very Happy

). I guess it kind of makes sense to call it CLASSNAME though, because class is well defined, while struct can be C struct or C++ struct and that could sound a bit ambiguous (not sure how much difference there is if any...).

Best regards,
Honza
