Using WEDL with C++ and OWL:
----------------------------

Create a derived class from OWL's TDialog class:

class TMyDialog : public TDialog {
public:
.....
private:
HFORM hform; // WEDL's form handle
}

Define the form during the TMyDialog::SetupWindow virtual function:

void TMyDialog::SetupWindow()
{
TDialog::SetupWindow(); // initialize base class
hform = form_begin( HWindow, ... );
// do all WEDL definitions (field_define, button_define, etc.)
form_end( hform );
}

Save the form during the TMyDialog::CanClose virtual function:

BOOL TMyDialog::CanClose()
{
if( form_validate( hform ) != NULL ) return( FALSE );
form_save( hform );
return( TRUE );
}

Terminate the form during the TMyDialog::Destroy virtual function:

void TMyDialog::Destroy( int return_value )
{
form_cancel( hform );
TDialog::Destroy( return_value );
}
