Many thanks for clarification guys ! Now I understood my mistakes in detail :)

Hey there ! @larrow: Thank you man! You saved my life! That was the problem... I don't know how I couldn't see it earlier. @KK: Thanks for the help, advise and tutorial ;) I'm not totally used with defines and dialogs are still a hard part for me. I'm trying to improve!

Indeed GUI_GRID 'constant' doesn't seem to be defined anywhere. However, that's not a blocking problem. If GUI_GRID_H is not defined and used with sizeEx propertie : the font won't be displayed on the dialog. My problem is the error message that is generated and that points to my color variables. I'll come back to you with custom mission scripts to prove you that the real problem is my color variables. But you can easily reproduce the error by defining global color variables and trying to insert them to color properties of a dialog.

Hey killzone_kid ! As you may know, there are 3 positioning modes in GUI editor : absolute, safezone and GUI_GRID. You did some tutorials about it :P Even if I use the safezone mode, font size is always product of grid height (GUI_GRID_H). So I consider this constant is defined somewhere in Arma cfg's and dialogs inherit. But I think it's not the problem. The error appears only when I use constants for the color properties (like colorBackground[], colorText[], etc...). All other constants are ok : font, type/style and GUI_GRID constants work correctly (tested without the color ones).

Hi folks ! Today I encountered some errors with my dialogs. I tried to split my stuff into different files to reorganize it. In this way, I created hpp-files to define engine-related / custom constants (as it's suggested here). So I created 1 file by constant type : controls.hpp (for control types and styles), fonts.hpp (for... fonts) and colors.hpp (for...tadam... colors). I also declare my basic ressource classes (RscText, RscStructuredText, etc...) in dialogs.hpp. All these files are included in my description.ext . This error appears when dialogs - including the color constants - are initialized (dialogs.hpp or CharactersList.h) : 15:33:34 Warning Message: File C:\Users\Steezy\Documents\Arma 3\missions\Test.Stratis\CharactersList.h, line 36: '/RscCharactersList/controlsBackground/MainTitle.': ';' encountered instead of '=' My game crashes if I try to preview the mission through the game editor or on dedicated server with the same error message.

What have I done wrong ? Thx in advance :)
