Re: Creating dynamic window

I've been searching the net for this topic and the one
thing that pops up is the addMethod routine.  It
sounds like something I can use.  However, there is no
information that I can find on how to use it to help
me.

Could somebody please help.

When I create a button on the fly - with a name
defined at run-time, how would I define a method for
it?

Thanks,
