Bug in View Composer

Using the latest Dolphin: Open View Composer, select New Dialog View,
click on the Reference View containing the OK/Cancel buttons, select
Mutate View, and choose Container View.  The result:  Illegal operation.

This sounds like one of those "no where to put the input focus so Windows
has tantrum" kind of bugs.  In short, it might not be Dolphin's fault.  You
might find that you can blow it up simply by deleting the buttons (reference
view), but, if you add another control first, it's ok????

Have a good one,

Bill

Works perfectly OK on Win2K. We've come across a number of problems like
this before where Win95/98 will crash when performing certain operations on
a dialog (as Bill mentions in his reply it often has to do with focus and
default buttons). We do try and work around these problems, but it often
isn't easy on such an unstable platform as Win9X.
