the code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "allegro.h"
PALLETE my_pallete;
 const BITMAP *scry;

DIALOG the_dialog[] =
{
  { d_clear_proc,      0,    0,    0,    0,    255,  0,    0,    0,    0,    0,
   NULL },
  { d_icon_proc,       2,    2,    32,   32,   255,  9,    0,    0,    0,    0,
   scry},
  { d_check_proc,      32,   64,   88,   12,   255,  0,    't',  0,    0,    0,
   "&Toggle Me" },
  { NULL,              0,    0,    0,    0,    0,    0,    0,    0,    0,    0,
   NULL }
};

int main()
{
   allegro_init();
   install_keyboard(); 
   install_mouse();
   install_timer();
   set_gfx_mode(GFX_VESA1, 320, 200, 0, 0);
   set_pallete(desktop_pallete);

   scry = load_bmp("shield.bmp",my_pallete);

   do_dialog(the_dialog, -1);
   return 0;
}

the error:
(11) Error: initializer element for 'the_dialog[1].dp' is not constant

 im am sorry if this error was due to ignorance. at a glance it does look like
it should work. if you are woundering - all i want to do is place a pictue in
and icon button. i want to design a grfx editor and i want pics on my buttons.
 i've prg'd in vb and now moved to c. so in my mind this looks ok.

if you can mail me. great
