I've just got a quick question about multiple dialogs;

I've tried to integrate the code from the multidialog example that comes with VDS3/4 and i cannot understand why the hell it won't work, all i want to do is open an about box off of a menu item

Title multitest
DIALOG CREATE,Multitest,-1,0,137,43
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Exit,10,34,64,24,Exit
DIALOG ADD,MENU,Help,About
DIALOG SHOW

:Main_evloop
wait event
%E = @event()
goto %E

:AboutMENU
goto Child_Dialog

:ExitBUTTON
goto Close

:CloseBUTTON
:CLOSE
exit

:Child_Dialog
DIALOG CREATE,Child Dialog,20,0,284,72,SAVEPOS Child,NOMIN
DIALOG SHOW

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN FROM HERE;

:Child_evloop
wait event
parse "%E;%D",@event(D)
if @zero(%D)
beep
dialog select,1
goto Child_evloop
else
goto Child_%E
end
TO HERE,I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S TRYING TO DO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


:Child_CancelBUTTON
:Child_CLOSE
DIALOG CLOSE
wait event
%E = @event()
goto Main_evloop


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Having different event loops is totally unnecessary.

This should give you a better idea of how child
dialogs work (dialog 0 is always the main dialog):
