Bassically I have a MFC app in which I have a MainFrame with a childWindow being a dialog.
My problem is that buttons on this window are disabled and I can't seem to re-enable them.
Is the dialog designed to only work fully when you DoModal()? Or should I be able to use it normally as a child to a frame?
Thanks in advance.
Moved to windows forum, since this is all win32 specific.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
IIRC........
MFC disables any controls without a message handler (entry in the frames(?) MESSAGE_MAP section).
Are you using a dialogbar (CDialogbar) or CDialog as a base class?
I also put child dlgs as members of the view. (EDIT: which could be totally the wrong place......)
Test for a valid (check not NULL) HWND with GetSafeHwnd()
If valid
call ShowWindow() to make them visible again.
else
call Create()
