Help GWLP_USERDATA

[vishalgpt]

SetWindowLongPtr(hWnd, GWLP_USERDATA, (LONG_PTR) content);
content = (Content *) GetWindowLongPtr(hWnd, GWLP_USERDATA);

the above code works in window created using CreateWindow, but the same code fails when used with DialogBox. Is there any alternative to this. I want to store Pointer to a structure. using Win32 C++. please guide.

Regards, Vishal

Long ago I used SetProp()[^], GetProp()[^], and RemoveProp()[^]. Try them, they might work. EDIT: On the page of SetProp() read the comments at the bottom of the page, contains important info!

You can try using DWLP_USER as described here[^].

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
