Hi, I have looked at many examples and I can't figure out how to use the d_..._proc() fuctions. I'm mostly trying to use the d_edit_proc but I can't figure out how to create and display editable text.:'(

Look at exdialog.c, in the examples folder of the Allegro source code.

You don't run d_something_proc() like you run most functions. You put it in a dialog struct as a function pointer. Instead you run do_dialog() or popup_dialog(), which operates on the struct.

Thanks, I got it to work. Now all I need to know though is how to change the text color. All I can get it to do is change shades of blue???

Don't use makecol at the array initialization, if you are doing so. You can also post a small sample of your application so that we can help you.

here is the part of my program that makes the dialog

1char edittext1[32] = "40";
2char edittext2[32] = "40";
3char edittext3[32] = "5";
4char edittext4[32] = "2";
5char text1[32] = "player 1 paddle: ";
6char text2[32] = "player 2 paddle: ";
7char text3[32] = "game speed: ";
8char text4[32] = "ball size: ";
9char text5[64] = "press escape to go to options";
10DIALOG customoptions[] =
   {
    /* (dialog proc)     (x)   (y)   (w)   (h)
                         (fg)  (bg)  (key) (flags)
                         (d1)  (d2)  (dp) */
                         
    { d_text_proc,       175, 190,   256,  8,

    { d_text_proc,       175, 250,   256,  8,

                         16,   0,    edittext4 },
51 
    { NULL,              0,    0,    0,    0,
                         0,    0,    0,    0,
                         0,    0,    NULL }
    };

P.S. I was experimenting with the fg to try and change the color

Well, you hardcoded 500 as fg, depending on the color depth you are using, that 500 may be a blue. Just change it (after initializing Allegro, you can use customoptions[0].fg = makecol(64, 0, 0); to change the text1 foreground color to a shade of red.
