Non modal Dialogs

[Barjor]

Ok this is somthing I can't seem to figure out.
I work with VC++ . SDI and MFC.
When I want to use a Dialog I create a Dialog resource, associate it with a Class and assign it a member variable like this

CCustomDlg m_dCustomDlg

When I want to open this dialog I just have to write

   if(m_dCustomDlg.DoModal == IDOK)
   {
           Do fun things 
   }

This will open a modal dialog. My question is what do I do if I want to open this dialog box as a non modal dialog? Something that I can have open but don't "block" my main window from input.

then you must call its create function. Just make sure to declare within the scope that you want.... because if your declare within a function it will destroy at the end of that function...



CCustomDlg m_dCustomDlg;


m_dCustomDlg.Create(.....)
m_dCustomDlg.ShowWindow( SW_SHOW ); //hide as necessary


///
m_dCustomDlg.Destroy() when no longer needeed

From MSDN

CMyDialog* pDialog;

void CMyWnd::OnSomeAction()
{
   //pDialog initialized to NULL in the constructor of CMyWnd class
   pDialog = new CMyDialog();
   //Check if new succeeded and we got a valid pointer to a dialog object
   if(pDialog != NULL)
   {
      BOOL ret = pDialog->Create(IDD_MYDIALOG,this);
      if(!ret)   //Create failed.
         AfxMessageBox("Error creating Dialog");
      pDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
   }
   else
      AfxMessageBox("Error Creating Dialog Object");
}
