Dialog Borders

I read from a previous post about the layout for the chat border and got that to work fine. I was wondering if there is a layout for dialogs. I looked at the example in the sdk and notice there are 3 colums and 4 rows of "buttons" for close, minimize etc below that is the dialog upper left, upper right and upper. Below that is the left, right, bottom left, bottom, and right. All seperated by one pixel and one pixel in the upper left for the seperator color.My graphic is 256x256 with blue seperator color.I can't get it to work, it just crashes the program.
So im missing something?
