Using objects from object repository

Damon,
            Easy enough, it worked! However, I had to change your code a bit
otherwise I ran into the following problem: As soon as the user would click
anywhere on the form, including the disabled button, the "About" form would
close but all the buttons remained disabled. The only option was to exit the
program. I still need to use ShowModal but, this time, it is inline with the
rest of my interface:

void __fastcall TForm1::AboutButtonClick(TObject *Sender)
{
    EnableAllButtons(false);
    AboutBox -> OnClose = AboutBoxClose;
    AboutBox -> ShowModal();

}

Thanks again for your help!

Jacques
