The CMyAlert dialog will have to notify the parent window that the OK button was clicked. either by passing a pointer to the parent to the dialog? or from the dialog, send a private message to the parent window saying the OK was clicked. What is your intention ? Do you want to have the dialog dismissed when the user clicks on Ok ?

are you wanting a modeless dialog by any chances ? if not, then why don't you do the job when the modal dialog is closed ?

so you mustn't use DoModal() (which, as its name states, creates a Modal Dialog). use Create() method to create it. to have the possibility to modify the window which spamn it, you must give it a pointer to its parent (commonly,
this) as a constructor parameter also read This[^] good article about modeless dialogs.

Createfunction for your alert dialog, you've made it a modeless dialog. CallingDoModal()in this case will not work correctly. There are two solutions here. One, use the alert dialog modally:CMyAlert *alert = new CMyAlert;
if (alert->DoModal() == IDOK) {
message("IDOK is clicked");
}
delete alert;The second is to use your alert dialog as a modeless dialog, and have it send a user-defined message to the parent when the OK button is clicked, which is more complicated:
#define WM_MyAlertMessage (WM_USER + 1)
void CMyAlert::OnOK()
{
CWnd *parent = GetParent();
if (parent != NULL) {
parent->SendMessage(WM_MyAlertMessage,0,0);
}
}
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyParentWindow,CDialog)
ON_MESSAGE(WM_MyAlertMessage,OnMyAlertMessage)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
LRESULT CMyParentWindow::OnMyAlertMessage(WPARAM /*wParam*/,LPARAM /*lParam*/)
{
message("IDOK is clicked");
return (LRESULT)0;
}
