Re: [ROOT] dialog boxes in Win32

At the moment you may click the "object" (on TCanvas or TBrowser) with your right mouse 
button to pop-up so-called context menu. That menu is build of the list of the method 
of your class marked with the comment //*MENU*
Selecting appropriated "context menu" item you force system to present you a dialog
box to enter the values of the parameters of your class method and then call it.

 To generate a new dialog box one is to add an extra method to his/her  class
 and mark this method with the comment //*MENU*

Can you try that ?

In fact it would be nice ROOT provides an API rather GUI to generate the same class 
method parameters input dialog box.
