Load images in dialog

Hi all,

I want to load images or make font lookups in a dialog, is it possible? As the documentation on interface states, the way to do it for ordinary windows is to put it into interface-display :before (or :after). But for display-dialog, that method is not called.

The only solution I've found so far is to defer creation of the images to the display-callback of my output-pane, and cache it from there. But it's quite ugly and seems like a last resort.

Regards
Erik

You could try the :create-callback of the dialog interface or the
:create-callback of the output-pane.
