Dialog Variable Passing Problem

[ronnyjljr]

Ok here goes,

I have a dialog that when I select a button it creates another dialog, like this:

void CMRDlg::OnBnClickedCreatedatabase()
{
DBNameDlg NewDB;
NewDB.DoModal();
return;
}

In the NewDB Dialog when I clicked the submit button I want to call the CreateDatabase Function that is part of the original dialog, I have been trying to get this for a while and I have failed everytime.

This is as far as I have gotten:

void DBNameDlg::OnBnClickedCreatedb()
{
sDBName.GetWindowText(NewDBName);
CMRDlg old = this->GetParent();
old.CreateDatabase(NewDBName);
this->DestroyWindow();
}

Please tell me how to pass this variable page to the function =)

Any help is much obliged..

GetParent() won't work because the CMRDlg is not the parent window of the DBNameDlg.

Try storing a pointer to the CMRDlg as a member variable of the DBNameDlg class, and use it in the DBNameDlg instead of GetParent().

Ter,

Not Really Sure how to do that, do you have any example code?

Thanks,
Ron

In the class declaration of DBNameDlg add this:

public:
CMRDlg *m_mainDlg;

Then in your button handler have this:

void CMRDlg::OnBnClickedCreatedatabase()
{
DBNameDlg NewDB;
NewDB.m_mainDlg = this;
NewDB.DoModal();
return;
}

Finally, in the DBnameDlg method, have this:

void DBNameDlg::OnBnClickedCreatedb()
{
sDBName.GetWindowText(NewDBName);
m_mainDlg->CreateDatabase(NewDBName);
this->DestroyWindow();
}
