Multiple dialogs question [message #3976]

Hi people--

If I already have a good standalone dialog, using widgets, and I
want to be able to have multiple instances of it in one IDL session,
I run into problems because the COMMONs of the second instance overwrite
those of the first, so that the first dialog loses track of its critical
data.

I understand why it happens, but does anyone have a painless way to
change the source to allow multiple instances? All I can think of is
major surgery, where the COMMON data becomes *arrays* of data, and
then I construct UVALUES at build-time which indicate (at event-time)
which array element from the COMMON to look at. Yuck. Isn't there
something I'm missing -- something faster/easier?

Thanks for any tips,
