Modeless CDialog

[qzou666]

Hi, there,

I am having a problem with creating a modeless CDialog.

The CDialog code is:

class ADialog : public CDialog
{
// Construction
public:
ADialog(SomeData* data, CWnd* pParent = NULL): CDialog(IDD_ADIALOG, pParent){
Data=data;
}

BOOL Create(CWnd* pParent=NULL){
return CDialog::Create(IDD_ADIALOG, pParent);
}

protected:
virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX); virtual void OnOk();
virtual void OnCancel();
virtual void PostNcDestroy();

private:

SomeData* Data;
}

The creation code is:

ADialog* pADlg=new ADialog(data, this);

pADlg->Create(this);

With above code, I cannot make the Dialog show. If I use pADlg->DoModal(), the Dialog shows.

Could someone point out what's wrong with my code.

Thanks a lot.

I think you need to use MoveWindow call to ensure your window has some size. Perhaps you also need to call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW)... not sure about the SW_SHOW... look it up.

so...

pADlg->Create(this);
pADlg->MoveWindow(....);
pADlg->ShowWindow(...); // maybe u wont need this

hope this helps

Thank you.

I found the problem. It turns out that I have to set the Dialog style as "visible" while setting dialog properties for the modeless dialog.

Thanks anyway.
