CouldDialog

Make a dialog and related resources un purgeable

#include <Dialogs.h> Dialog Manager

void CouldDialog(dlgRsrcID );

short dlgRsrcID ; resource ID of a dialog (type 'DLOG')

CouldDialog is needed when you expect that a disk containing dialog

resources may be removed. It reads 'DLOG', 'DITL', 'WDEF', 'PICT','CNTL',

'dctb', 'ictb' and related resources into memory along with the color table

template (if not already there) and tags them as un purgeable.

CouldDialog is not supported under System 7. You can call it but no

operation will be performed.

dlgRsrcID is the resource ID of the 'DLOG' resource you want held in memory.

Notes: CouldDialog is a quick way to insure that a dialog and all its related

resources (with the exception of the 'FONT' or 'FOND' resources indicated in

the color item list) will not be purged. The alternative is a series of a

(possibly) large number of SetResAttrs calls, walking around an extended

tree of resources.

Exception: If the dialog uses a font other than the system font (see

SetDAFont), that font might get purged anyway. You may wish to lock it

Use FreeDialog to undo the effect of this call.
