You can change the caption of the dialog to cahnge the title.

in your case

m_about.SetWindowText( "test" );

Thanks for you reply!
but SetWindowText is not ok!

<br />
	CPropertySheet* pSheet = (CPropertySheet*)this->GetParent();<br />
//Exception!!!<br />

<br />
//addition to the above code<br />
	COptionDlg* dlg = (COptionDlg*)this->GetParentOwner();<br />
	TCHAR buf[MAX_PATH];<br />
	TC_ITEM   TabCtrlItem;     <br />
<br />

Just check if the CAboutDlg is derived from CDialog or CPropertyPage. It should be CPropertyPaeg and must have done CPropertyPage but I am just asking to check it once more. so we can think of other options.

It sounds to me that you are calling this function before the window has been created.

The exception you get is probably about the hWnd being 0.

From where are you calling this?
What function?

You can handle WM_CLOSE message or you can write the code on the button click which you are using to close the dialog.

You can call GetCommandLine to get the command line which was used to launch an application.

Could you please tell that where I can use "GetCommandLine" in dialoged based application.

any sample?

Thanks again

Regards.

Stephen Hewitt18-May-06 19:02

Re: Receive the arguments at the application starts running

This will show the command line in a message box:

AfxMessageBox(GetCommandLine());

Another options is the following:

AfxMessageBox(AfxGetApp()->m_lpCmdLine);

Both these options produce slightly different results so try both and see which one's right for you.

It means I can use these at any place in the Application. ?
As I was thinking may be it is only workable in CDlgApp class

Regards.

Stephen Hewitt18-May-06 19:14

Re: Receive the arguments at the application starts running

18-May-06 19:14

Yeah, you can use them pretty much anywhere in the application.
