system menu on dialog

GuyM

in the system-menu, not the Cancel button ... :) Here's the code:

void CYourDlg::OnClose()
{
AfxMessageBox("Don't close!");
}

... and don't forget to add the ON_WM_CLOSE() macro in the dialog's message-map.

Hey that still works with System menu's [x]. Did you check that? but yes mentioning "WM_CLOSE" is required! ;)

:omg: Hey, I just checked it, and you know what ? You're absolutely right !!! :omg: Sorry, my bad :doh: You rule !! Guy.

Actually I was searching for OnCancel but it's not there with 7.1 compiler. VS6.0 displays the cancel event handler as "::OnCancel". but in 7.1 it's generating OnBnClickedCancel.

Why would you suggest that? If you write your code in OnCancel(), then it would be obviously executed when the Esc key is pressed and also when the cancel button is pressed. Handling WM_CLOSE is the right way.

Rajesh R Subramanian

Handle WM_CLOSE message.

What do you mean by "mentioning WM_CLOSE is required"?

Yeah, nobody would want their application to get closed with an Esc. I really wonder why MFC has it that way :unsure:. So handling WM_CLOSE is the best way. Thanks for stressing that one out. :-D :beer:

You assume things.

That is by design. Pressing the Esc key in a dialog based app will execute some extremely old windows code. As a developer, you are not supposed to develop complex applications which is dialog based. As a user, he would always expect a dialog to get dismissed when the Esc key is pressed. For instance, if you right click on the desktop and choose properties, you will expect the properties window to get dismissed on pressing Esc. I am working on my first article, and I have elaborated on this dialog box closing glitch issue more clearly.

I stopped working with MFC quite a long time ago. Currently I am working on Windows Mobile and embedded C (Dynamic C). I have worked with MDI applications too, but for some reason I love dialog based applications and hooking and spying out stuff from within a DLL.

Eytukan

Yeah me too, in general I hate UIs to a good extent. :sigh:
