CIPAddressCtrl -- m_hWnd Assertion Failure

[jdeejay]

When trying to capture an ip address entered in a dialog, an assertion failure is noted about the handle to the window (ASSERT:IsWindow(m_hWnd)). GetAddress()does not directly specify you give it a handle to a window. Why would the ASSERT not be getting a correct m_hWnd? I get this both trying the DWORD form or with the BYTE form.

code:
retint = addServerDlg.m_dlgadip.GetAddress(ipaddr)

Thanks

Window with m_hWnd is not created before Your call, it is the problem. Window is allways valid by WM_SHOWWINDOW message - You should not try to work with window before this message.
