Problem with CDialog::InitModalIndirect()

[Eugene Pustovoyt]

I'm wrote a simple code to creates a empty Dialog. But I've an exception with him. Why?

    DLGTEMPLATE dlg;
dlg.x = 0;
dlg.y = 0;
dlg.cx = 200;
dlg.cy = 200;
dlg.style = WS\_BORDER|WS\_CHILD|WS\_VISIBLE;
dlg.dwExtendedStyle = 0;
dlg.cdit = 0;
CDialog Dialog;
Dialog.InitModalIndirect(&dlg);
DoModal();

Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

From MSDN: "To create a modal dialog box indirectly, first allocate a global block of memory and fill it with the dialog box template. Then call the empty CDialog constructor to construct the dialog-box object. Next, call InitModalIndirect to store your handle to the in-memory dialog-box template." Here is the most IMPORTANT part: "first allocate a global block of memory" It does not matter which version of InitModalIndirect you call, the DLGTEMPLATE must be in a globaly allocated memory block. That means using GlobalAlloc(...). If this is not the cause of exception, then the MSDN remarks section may be wrong. The only question that remains is: who is responsible for freeing the memeory? Search the MSDN for the sample code: "DLGTEMPL: Creating Dialog Templates Dynamically" Good Luck!
