SUMMARY

Microsoft incorrectly left several identifiers in the WDCMDS.H and WDFID.H header files that might lead you to the conclusion that you can create custom WordBasic dialog boxes.

You cannot create your own WordBasic dialog boxes from the Word CAPI.

RESOLUTION

WLL developers can create much more robust dialog boxes using the Windows API.
