If the thread that creates the modal dialog is a different thread than the
thread another window (the main window, for example) was created on,
then of course it's going to behave like a modeless dialog - you have two
threads!

Typically, if I make a window in a separate thread, I do not give it the 'parent' of a window from a different thread. Some of the focus and input looping of a dialog gets mixed up if you do this. If you make a modeless dialog from a separate thread, better to give it the desktop as its parent. Then it and your main window can operate completely independantly of each other. If the modeless is created from same thread as parent, then by all means give it that parent.

how to change the color of caption text for a checkbox?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can i use WM_CTLCOLOR in oninitdialog function. I want to set the color of caption text of a checkbox before displaying dialog in VC++.

I think is the best place to use it.
In the constructor you may have error/assertion because the window is not already created so you dont have any possibility to access visual controls, m_hWnd will be NULL and give you problems.
But in OnInitDialog all the objects are already created and it is called the very first time the dialog and its components are shown in the screen.
Greetings.

you have to regularly handle teh OnCtlColor message for coloring the check box, and have to use SetTextColor there!

What kind of libraries do you link against?
Is there a UNICODE version to link against?

You can either compare the individual members of the tm structure, or look at difftime(). If you are using MFC, check out CTimeSpan and COleDateTimeSpan.

Hi,
In one of my coding,i found the coding for bitmap button in the dialog.
it shows as
//mainfrm.h
public:
CMainFrame();
CSysWindow m_SysWnd;
CBitmapButton bmSCopy;
//mainfrm.cpp
m_SysWnd.SetBarStyle( m_SysWnd.GetBarStyle()| CBRS_ALIGN_TOP|CBRS_BORDER_TOP | CBRS_FLOAT_MULTI );
bmSCopy.AutoLoad(ID_SCOPY,((CWnd* ) ((CDialogBar *)((CSysWindow*)&m_SysWnd)) ) );
I dont know here where the bitmap image is get loaded in the button.
ID_SCOPY is the ID for button.
CSyswindow is CDialogBar class.
ANd it perfectly working.After executing, the button has the bitmap image what i made the image for that particular button.
I dnt know how its get loading.Pls clear me.

For load bitmaps on the a control of CBitmapButton it uses of LoadBitmaps.
|
|
|
|
|
In that coding, i didnot find Loadbitmaps function anywhere.

For the button caption “MYIMAGE,” for example, the IDs would be “MYIMAGEU,” “MYIMAGED,” “MYIMAGEF,” and “MYIMAGEX.” You must specify the ID of your bitmaps within double quotes.

Yes, I found that. Thank u so much

Yeah I understood it was for example.
if you have handle to that program you can use of this code for get handle to other controls on that forum and then send your message to a control.
for(CWnd* pWnd = needsto handle; pWnd;pWnd = pWnd ->GetNextWindow())
{
pWnd ->GetWindowTextW(str);
}
