I going threw the SimplePeer example in the DX8 SDK, and i understand most of it, except for the windows message boxes, using the debugger and going threw the program line by line, i found the exactly where it opens for the first dialog box, asking for you name and which type of connection (ipx, tcp/ip ect...)

  
// Display the multiplayer connect dialog box.

                DialogBox( m_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MULTIPLAYER_CONNECT),
                           NULL, (DLGPROC) StaticConnectionsDlgProc );
  

now, i know i how to look at the resouce window and can see the window that pops up, but i cant determine what happens in there. Some how the player name is set and a list of available connection types is displayed and one is chosen. Where is the code at for how that is done and what exactly is happening in that Dialog box. My ultimate goes is to get rid of them stinking dialog boxes, they have no business in a full screen program which i have written. Thanks if anyone can help me. Possibility

Here is the dailog box i am talking about:



but where do you find out on what this dialog box is doing?

Thanks, I think i am able to understand it now.

What i dont understand is why the skd examples have to use all of these stupid dialog boxes, they are totally confusing and very hard to reverse engineer. I would pay 50 bucks for a good book that teaches me how to connect with DX8 and make multiplayer games. Anyone know of any?
