hi alexeange!

welcome to the forum, where's there's plenty of bad news from everyone!

actually it's not that difficult.

you can use whatever API you like to open a window. (as long as it's modal)

you can use MFC, QT, WinApi, or... anything really. the DO_DIALOG is just a call. nothing special about it.

what's the easiest way?

use javascript along with ExecuteScript().

the script text is internal to your plug-in and the user can't see it.

the following thread shows how to do that, and how to retreive results:

TADA!

What if I wanted to display a web page in the popup window?  What would be the best cross-OS method to implement that?  I know that ExtendScript popups / dialogs do not allow for the display of HTML, so I don't think a simple script will do the trick.  Can you recommend a library for handling this that works on both windows and osx?

the easiest way to display a web page is not to open a window at all, but

rather ask the os to open the url in it's default browser.
