Hi,

I have created a Dialog box, It shows only a message (E.g - In progress....). There isn't any controls(Pushbutton etc) on that Dialog and am showing it using Domodal().

I want that Dialog to get closed without any user input. Since Domodal() requires any input from user. I am unable to close.

I am using VC++.

Please suggest, How to close that dialog.
Or is there any better way to achieve this.

Please suggest.

Thanks In advance

Solution 1

To close a modal dialog programmatically, you have to call its EndDialog() method, providing the exit code (which is the one returned by the DoModal() method).

Solution 2

Put a timer in the dialog and have it close itself on the timer tick

Solution 3

Why not use a Progress Bar[^] which allows you to provide useful information for your users? I don't use MFC so I'm not sure whether there is an MFC class for this but I'm sure Bing can find it for you.
