Dialogs Help

[MarkPQ]

Hi All,

I'm making an application that is connecting to numerous brands of devices through different protocols (ie serial, FTP, telnet). I'm ok with programming the functionlity of the communication stuff but I'm getting bogged down on the windows end of the programming because its all new to me!

I'm after some help and maybe some advice on how I should do this. At the moment I'm doing a dialog based application that I'm using to select different devices and connection options which will open up the appropriate dialog.

I was wondering how I could communicate which options were selected in the main dialog to the new dialog so it can call the correct functions to connect to the device.

Or rather, any adivce on better ways of doing this? I'm not to sure on how to do this but would packing the different functions into their own libraries or dll's or something be better?

Thanks in advance

the best I think is to create your own classes which hold
your functions.
then you declare pointers to these classes and pass the
pointers to your new dialog.
