The variable is the variable "value", that comes after the controlID. It is declared as a char[] & I also tried char* to char[].It said it was expecting an "int". The controlID is correct I checked it. The main program has several UIR's, my part only has one. I place a button on thier main panel that activates my panel by simply calling a start_up routine in my code. I did not have to alter thier .h, just mine. I am sorry, I can not post my code. But I did get around this by simply writting my on project seperate from thiers. Thanks for helping.
