CWND from dialog box

[Baatezu]

I created a dialog box using the resource editor. I am wondering how to get the CWND from this so I can create controls during run time. Thanks The wisest of the wise may err. - Aeschylus

Do you use MFC? If YES, the CDialog class what the Visual C++ Wizard created is derived from CWnd. So, you can use the a member of type CDialog on every place where you can use CWnd. Sample: CMyDialog dlg; dlg.DoModal(); ... **dlg.SetWindowText(_T("Hi!"));** ... **CWnd* pWnd = &dlg;** ... **pWnd->SetWindowText(_T("Hi!"));** Daniel ;) --------------------------- Never change a running system!

Nope, not using MFC, using the resource editor and the winapi. The wisest of the wise may err. - Aeschylus

If you're running under WIn API, you'll have somewhere in your code a place where you create your main window. This is your CWnd. To add controls in your CDialog, just pass a *CDialog instead of a *CWnd, since CDialog is derived from CWnd (and this, not only in MFC). Finally, if your main win is your dialog, you may pass NULL pointers to create the controls (see MSDN) Hope this helps- ~RaGE();

Oh... than take a look on what Rage wrote ... Daniel ;) --------------------------- Never change a running system!

You get the HWND of the dialog (not "CWND") as the first parameter to the dialog box function. Also, if the dialog is modeless, its HWND is the return value from CreateDialog(). --Mike-- I'm bored...
