buttons on a dialog to open another dialog

[haktekvc]

I have made an MFC exe and i want to make a button that the user clicks on to open another dialog
for example a user clicks on a button with caption 'About'
and it the opens an about box

Thanks for any help

Add a button control in your dialog box. Create the new child dialog that u want to open.. say call it CMyDialog.

For the button that u just added, place the following code for the event "On_ButtonLClick"....

CMyDialog dlg.
dlg.DoModal ();

This will open the child dialog.

the method by sriks creates a modal dialog box. well if thats ur need, you need not read further ;-)

in case you have to create a modeless dialog, you can use the create function, supplying the DialogID as a parameter... additionally you may have to set the focus to the child dialog (others: is this really necessary??)

and remember, in both cases, you have to include the header file of your Dialog class ( say MyDialog.h ) appropriately...

Thanks,
