Thread: Simple Dialog Box (noob)

strcmp() returns 0 if they are the same

so

if(strcmp(password,"123456")) will be true if they are NOT the same.

if(strcmp(password,"123456"))==0)//match

The password dialog's callback is missing a break and a return. I think you have forgotten to end the wm_COMMAND switch.





Next time please be more specific as to your problems.

howdy.. sorry bout not givin' much info about my problem... was in a rush..... I've done more trial and error and it seems my problem is just getting the Dialog Box to appear when the 'X' button is clicked to close the window....

it seems in my code I wrote

Code:

DialogBox(hwnd, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_Exit), NULL,
                    (DLGPROC)CheckPasswordProc);

and i needed to pass hInstance

Code:

DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_Exit), NULL,
                    (DLGPROC)CheckPasswordProc);

however i don't know how to pass an instance of the window in the callback function... other than that my program seems to run fine.... i've tested writing the second above code in the WINAPI section and it runs fine... except the point of my program is not to display the dialog box at startup....

P.S. thnx for the info about the callback needing a return.....i missed that

>> if(strcmp(password,"123456"))==0)//match

One too many brackets there

if(strcmp(password,"123456")==0)//match

to get the HINSTANCE of the current window use GetModuleHandle(NULL);
