Modeless Dialogs
-
Hi, I did a search on how to create a modeless dialog window and got some great things. I did follow one of the articles on how to do this, and it worked great for dialogs that pop up when choosing it from a menu. However, I also want to do the same thing when I click on an "OK" button of a modal dialog. Basically I want to close the modal and have the modeless dialog come up. I am using the code:
void CSendTo::OnOK() { //CDialog::OnOK(); if (!m_pCommandOpt) m_pCommandOpt = new CMainCommand; if (!::IsWindow(m_pCommandOpt->GetSafeHwnd())) m_pCommandOpt->Create(IDD_MAIN_TAB_DIALOG, this); m_pCommandOpt->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL); //CDialog::OnOK(); }If I remove the either of the comments in front of CDialog::OnOK() it closes both windows and only flashes the modeless window for a second on screen. If I leave it commented out it keeps the modal window on screen and pops up the second window which seems to be MODAL. If i close the second window the first window is still there MUCH THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!! -

Perhaps the issue lies in the call to Create(). By specifying a parent, the child dialog goes away as soon as its parent goes away. Remove the 'this' parameter and note the results.
