Thread: Not destroying the window in VC++

I have got my code running, well enough for now, still a couple of bugs to sort out I am sure but I haven't found them yet, the only annoying thing is when I press the ok button it runs the code fine but it destroys the window afterwards, and I am putting out some important information to it.

I am creating an MFC application and the vent is BN_CLICKED and the function is called onOK(); I guess that the onOK(); constructor is calling destroy window but could anyone let me know how to stop it doing that.

Cheers.

Don't call CDialog::OnOK(). If you do it will destroy the window and return DoModal() with IDOK. I believe you could call this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) to hide the window. Then you would have to call (pointer_to_dlg)->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) to display the window again.

EDIT:
If you call DoModal() it won't return until the dialog is dismissed correctly.

Cheers Velius I knew I could count on you, I feel like i should be paying you or something.

I am stuck I have tried messing with it since you replied but to no avail, I'll show you.

Code:

void CBoxDlg::OnOK() 
{ 
    //code
    //code
    //code
    //code
    //code
    //code
CDialog::OnOK();
}

Basically I set the event to on clicked and then couble clicked the button to get the code up, was that wrong, can you tell me what I need to modify?

Thanks again.

Ben.

You seem to need to assign variables for DDX code or just simply make member variables and assign them the values in the fields on the dialog's controls before calling CDialog::OnOK();
