I have implemented a series of popup DoModal dialogs. All of them display a number which is manipulated by a vertical scrolling control. Using the ::OnVScroll() function I update the button's number. Normally, when the user is happy with the number he/she 'clicks' on the number to dismiss the dialog.
However, I would also like to be able to dismiss the dialog when the user 'clicks' anywhere outside of the dialog.
I have looked into into 'SetWindowsHookEx' and this is not possible for 'WH_MOUSE', I have also tried SetCapture, GetCapture, & ReleaseCapture but they don't work when the dialog has an additional control.
So right now I'm stuck with the system beeping at me when I 'click' outside the dialog. Does anyone know of a work around for this, I can't believe I'm the first one to run into this problem
