But actually I was unable to find such a representation in COFFEE. The gedialog.cox file in resource/modules/coffee doesn't implement this function either.
I think it should be removed from the documentationindex if this function is not accessable from COFFEE. If it is, but is hidden somewhere, it could be really nice to know where and how to call it.

Sorry, but what´s the exact problem? This is what the documentation tells us. It says exactly how to use it:

The problem is, that

dialog->SendMessage

Throws an exception that the member does not exist. Try it out yourself:

  
class SomeDialog:GeModalDialog {  
     public:  
          SomeDialog();  
          CreateLayout();            
          AskClose();  
}  
SomeDialog::SomeDialog() {super();}  
SomeDialog::CreateLayout() {  
     var container = new(BaseContainer);  
     SendMessage(100,container);   
          // arguments are unimportant since sendmessage can't be found  
          // errmsg: variable or function expected  
}  
SomeDialog::AskClose() { return FALSE;}  
  
main() {  
     var d = new(SomeDialog);  
     d->open(-1,-1);  
}

OH you are right. Sorry, my fault. Pretty strange it doesn´t work. But what do you exactly need it for? You can surely workaround it (depending what it´s used for).

No, sadly not - I cannot resize Scrollgroups in my dynamic GUI and cannot change the active page in tabgroups, this works only by sending messages to the GUI elements - I had this discussion one year ago..

I think this is defenitly a bug - next to the one I am posting in a few minutes.
