Handling Cdialog's in a App.

[Donguy1976]

Hello All, I have a MFC app developed in VS 6.0 User can open multiple dialogs in this app. Is there a way of keeping track of how many dialogs are open at a given time? Also, is there a way of getting the handle to each dialog from a central location? Because the dialogs are opened from different parts of the app, i.e., different files its hard to keep track of all dialogs. Any sample code will help. Thanks in advance.

Just add some code so that every time a dialog opens it calls in to a central function which can keep track of them. If these are all modal dialogs I would be interested to know how the app has multiple ones open at the same time.

Use the best guess

Derive all of your dialogs from a common class. In that base class, override OnInitDialog() and OnCancel() to adjust your counters accordingly.

More specifically, write a new class MyCDialog which derives from CDialog, and implements OnInitDialog() and OnCancel() as DavidCrow describes, then change all of your existing dlg classes that derive from CDialog to derive from MyCDialog. [Specifically, if a class doesn't derive from CDialog directly, then don't change it.]
