Hello,

I am trying to recreate the Layout of the Search Dialog (Command Manager ID 1011177) for a custom Search GeDialog.

I am able to put the EditText into the MenuLine with
> GroupBeginInMenuLine()
but half the space is occupied by a non existing menu.

How is it possible to expand the EditText to the whole line or at least prevent the Cinema from drawing the grey empty Menu bar?

Best
Macm

There are two things needed to achieve this specific layout. Fist to hide the menu you have to put this into your dialog's constructor:

> \> C4DOS.Cd->AddGadget(Get(),DIALOG_NOMENUBAR,0,NULL,0,0,0,0,NULL,NULL); \>

Second you add a window pin element (to dock/undock dialogs) with WINDOWPIN in your dialog resource file. Here is a complete dialog resource example:

c4d_symbols.h

my_dialog.res

my_dialog.str
