Close a Modal Dialog by clicking outside the Dialog

[ashorton]

I have a Modal Dialog Window. My problem is that I would like to simulate IDOK when the mouse is clicked outside of the Dialog.

Any idea's

Should I be using a modeless dialog? I have not used these before.

If it make sence, you couldn't do it directly with dialogs created with MessageBox...
If there are some dialogs obtained by
hDlg = CreateWindow/CreateDialog
then call
CloseWindow/DestroyWindow(hDlg); Ion Filipski

What I really need to know is: Is it possible to force a modal dialog that I have created by clicking the mouse outside of the dialog window. Similar to a popup window. The dialog class would have control so I would need to trap the mouse click from the dialog class.

Is possible to close any windows in the system by using CloseWindow, your problem is to get the handle to them. Ion Filipski

You should re-think you application. This is bad programming style. Anyway you might try by catching some WM_NC... windows message.

Try olso to put a call to CDialog::OnOK() in the WM_LOSTFOCUS event handler of your dialog window.

Hope this helps, s-)

Yes, it is a bad atyle as Ionel said, but anyway you can get handle to a window from point with coords X, Y
POINT pt;
HWND xwnd;
pt.x = 10;
pt.y = 20;
///.....
xwnd = WindowFromPoint(pt);
...do something what do you want with xwnd Ion Filipski
