Return value of a MFC Dialog Box Applicatin..
-
Hello, I want to have a custom return value of a dialog box application. We can change the return value by overriding ExitInstance(). Is it possible to have a string as return value? If yes how to achieve this? Thank you..
The DoModal function returns an integer so you won't be able to change that (except if you create your own function to create the modla dialog). But anyway, this is in general not needed: you could simply add a function that returns you the string. The return of DoModal is used to return informatino about how the dialog has been closed to the user. It doesn't make a lot of sense to return some kind of data there.

Well, he should know then there are a lot of IPC mechanisms. :)

[My articles]Requirement is to return a String? So have to find a soultion for it :( .. It is used by other process and that is already defined to take String as input..

You may, for instance, return a
integervalue and then call the other process with astringappropriate to such aintegerreturn value, e.g. (pseudocode):int r = call(myProcess);
switch( r )
{
case eOK:
call(theOtherNastyProcess, "OK");
break;
...
}:)

Did you get your question fully answered by Cedric's response? I couldn't tell from your reply. If not, here's a little code snippet to demonstrate what (I believe) he was suggesting:
CMySpecialDialog MyDialog;
const int Status = MyDialog.DoModal();
if (Status == IDOK)
{
const CString MyString = MyDialog.GetMyString();
}This will work if you define a GetMyString method in your CMySpecialDialog class. Just remember to keep the string value in a member variable of the CMySpecialDialog class so that it still exists after the return from DoModal. HTH
