DialogBox fuction not executing its procedure [SOLVED]
-
Thank you for your response, unfortunately not DS_MODALEFRAME is the problem The problem is ( I think ), that when DialogBox function is called in WinMain, its associated procedure function Dlg_ProcDlg_Proc isn't executed.

And your message handlers could contain anything - we cannot see the code.
Are you reffering to Dlg_OnInitDialog as message handlers? It's code is:
BOOL Dlg_OnInitDialog (HWND hwnd, HWND hwndFocus, LPARAM lParam)
{
RECT rc;// Associate an icon with the dialog box. chSETDLGICONS(hwnd, IDI\_DIRWALK, IDI\_DIRWALK); // here is some code that I didn't got to, or have patience to write GetClientRect(hwnd, &rc); SetWindowPos(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC\_TREE), NULL, 0, 0, rc.right, rc.bottom, SWP\_NOZORDER); return(TRUE);}
And the macro for chSETDLGICONS(hwnd, IDI_DIRWALK, IDI_DIRWALK); :D is:
#define chINITSTRUCT(structure, fInitSize) \
(ZeroMemory(&(structure), sizeof(structure)), \
fInitSize ? (*(int*) &(structure) = sizeof(structure)) : 0)// Dialog Box Icon Setting Macro
// The call to SetClassLong is for Windows NT 3.51 or less.
// The WM_SETICON messages are for Windows NT 4.0 and Win 95
#define chSETDLGICONS(hwnd, idiLarge, idiSmall) \
{ \
OSVERSIONINFO VerInfo; \
chINITSTRUCT(VerInfo, TRUE); \
GetVersionEx(&VerInfo); \
if ((VerInfo.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) && \
(VerInfo.dwMajorVersion <=3 && \
VerInfo.dwMinorVersion <= 51)) \
{ \
SetClassLong(hwnd, GCL_HICON, (LONG) \
LoadIcon(GetWindowInstance(hwnd), \
MAKEINTRESOURCE(idiLarge))); \
} \
else \
{ \
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, TRUE, (LPARAM) \
LoadIcon(GetWindowInstance(hwnd), \
MAKEINTRESOURCE(idiLarge))); \
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, FALSE, (LPARAM) \

Here it is the code: ( it was in the first post too, I will modify de macros )
#define chHANDLE_DLGMSG(hWnd, message, fn) \
case (message): \
return (SetDlgMsgResult(hwnd, uMsg, HANDLE_##message((hwnd), (wParam), (lParam), (fn))))Thank you,
So you have a macro inside a macro which just makes it worse. I suggest you throw this code (and that book) away and write a proper inline handler. I have just tested your template and it loads the dialog and handles the
WM_INITDIALOGmessage:INT\_PTR CALLBACK DlgProc( HWND hDlg, UINT uMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ) { switch (uMessage) { case WM\_INITDIALOG: return OnInitDialog(hDlg, (HWND)wParam, lParam); // calls the initialization function case WM\_COMMAND: return OnCommand(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam), (HWND)lParam, HIWORD(wParam)); // handles any button etc. messages } return false; // default processing } -

But my problem is that the program doesn't reach to the DlgProc function to be called. I don't know why, what to do? but DialogBox function from WinMain doesn't call DlgProc. I think that here is the problem. When I play the program it doesn't do any thing. Just execute, nothing displaied, and that's it.

In my opinion I can change the content of the Dlg_Proc for infinite because I don't know why, the program just don't get to that Function Procedure. And I don't know why you are ignoring me when I am telling you that my DialogBox function from WinMain doesn't starts the Dlg_Proc procedure never. Please explain me that because I don't understand. All I want to do for now is to see that my program stops at a breakpoint on the Dlg_Proc. Are VC project settings? This is all the code that I have. I am missing something? Just please explain me why the DialogBox doesn't starts its procedure. I know to implplement dialog boxes, I have implemented a few, the problem in this topic is that I can't aproach this kind of message handling procedure. And I am sorry if I repeat myself and you try to explain me and I am not able to understand but... "Why the DialogBox from WinMain doesn't start the Dlg_Proc afferent procedure?" Thank you,

The DialogBox does start, but because your code is invalid it terminates (almost) immediately. I have changed your DialogProc to the following just to make it work:
INT_PTR CALLBACK Dlg_Proc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch (uMsg)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
HANDLE_WM_INITDIALOG(hwnd, wParam, lParam, Dlg_OnInitDialog);
break;
case WM_COMMAND:
if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDCANCEL)
{
EndDialog(hwnd, IDCANCEL);
break;
}
return FALSE;
default:
return FALSE;} return TRUE;}
But that is just to get the dialog to start and be able to close it. To do anything useful would require a lot of rewriting, or better still, start clean with up to date code.

How invalid the code will be, if I put a break point inside of Dlg_Proc should stop there, but the program never goes there. Please listen to me, help me to understand why the MessageBox doesn't start DlgProc procedeure. Maybe are project setings or I don't know. The problem is that the Dlg_Proc is never reched and never executed. Please take my code where I copied all my file apart .cpp .rc the resource file to see that I am right.

I ran a further test and discovered that the resource compiler did not generate the correct output file. The resulting resource object was missing the dialog, so that was why your code immediately terminated. However, I cannot reproduce your environment as I do not have the old version of Visual Studio. So the corrections I made are to make use of the Visual Studio 2022 environment. As I keep saying, stop wasting time with this out of date code (and book) and move on to the latest version of Visual Studio, and the associated documentation.

I told you how to fix it, copy the code from my previous message into your DialogProc. I know that works because I have tested it. If it still does not work for you then there is something else that you are not showing us.

#undef APSTOne thing I did notice in your Dialog resource definition was the use of the style value
LBX_NOINTEGRAL_HEIGHT. I cannot find a definition of that value anywhere in the Windows header file; I suspect it should be**LBS**_NOINTEGRAL_HEIGHT. I don't have time to look at the rest of the above code today, but may be able to get to it tomorrow or next week. -

I just built your program from the code in your previous message. I had to add a couple of minor things in the .rc file because of changes in the Win32 libraries. After building the code it runs successfully; i.e. it shows the main dialog with an empty ListView.

Can you please tell me where these adjustments were? So I can take a look at me? Teach me how to fix that problems, where to look. Because it can be from the dialog resource to not load properly the DialogBox and not to go to the Dialog procedure from that reason. Where can be the problem on me? ( I am using VS 2010 and I did't had problems with it until now). Thank you,

I do not think they will help since they are just there to simulate what is provided by VS2010. However you can add them to the beginning of the .rc file to see what happens:
#include #define APSTUDIO_INVOKED
#define LBX_NOINTEGRAL_HEIGHT LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT -

When I am creating a new empty project, when I choose to add a new .rc file, in this .rc file it's added automatically some code in that file, I was glad to see that, BUT!!! :mad:, it's appears that somewhere here was some problems or I wasn't pay attention on something, now I have copied exactly the content of the .rc file provided with the book, and now when I run the project, it's appearing an empty dialog box, it is emty, without the ListWiew, but it's a great start. I will put tomorrow the content of the file from the book because I am very tired now, and for shure we will see the critical diferences and for shure I will learn from that. Whoa, I am so glad, we will find and figure out what the clue is, thank you Richard for your patience. Thank you,
