That would be great. It would be extremely handy for maintaining my
popup menus.
While you are fixing this, could you also please enhance the event
sources control? The single line edit control is ok for a small number
of event sources, but it would be more convenient if it would have the
option to enter them in a multiline control as is done for some other
properties.

I understand. I do recall that what did not work in the past, even
before it was broken, was having two event handlers for the same
event. I would expect that when I add the same id to event source of
two different frames, that they will both get the event handler (after
generating the source). Right now I create them manually when I need
them elsewhere, but it would be nice if Dialogblocks could do that.
