Small doubt

Hi, Can any one tell me how to differentiate messagebox dialog from other dialogs. Thanks in advance.:)

[chandu004]

why do you have any of your dialogs which look like messagebox?

As the MessageBox comes from CWnd and CDialog is a CWnd derived class but "independant" you can try

CDialog* pDlg = (CDialog*) GetActiveWindow ();
if (pDlg->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CDialog)))
//you have a dialog
else
//you have another thing, maybe a messagebox, maybe a view, maybe a window

Another way to do the difference is the first member of both possibilites. By MessageBox the first member is a handler o a window hWnd, and in a DialogBox this handler is of the application instance hInstance Hope it helps

MessageBox is type of dialog. but you don't need template to create it as it required by Dialog. plus a single api call i.e. MessageBox will create the message box for you!
