How to make DoModal() in CFrameWnd

7-Jun-06 22:58

Are your sure that SetColWidth and SetRowHeight functions requires size in other units than pixels? Try without your "14.4" multiplier.

Hi, All
i have one project, use CFrameWnd.
example:
CMainFrm : public CFrameWnd
CChildFrm : public CFrameWnd
in CMainFrm : load CChildFrm and CChildFrm must be DoModal()
How to make CChildFrm to DoModal()
I use VC 7.0

DoModal is from CDialog, it has nothing to do with CFrameWnd. Why do you want to call DoModal ?
Take a look at BeginModalState[^] (hum, not a lot of info, I agree Laugh | :laugh:

). I think this will do what you are looking for (but I never tested it myself).

You didn't answer my question in your previous thread: how did you do to make it compile under VC6 ?

It is not because your customer wants to have a modal frame window that you are 'allowed' to call DoModal which is not part of the CFrameWnd class Unsure | :~

. I'm wondering how you did that. Did you simply make a cast from a CFrameWnd into a CDialog ? Dead | X|

You have to provide more information if you want help.

A possible scenario:

Display your popup as a modeless dialog, keeping a variable for this dialog.
When you detect a new selection in your list-box, close the dialog, and then recreate it and move to desired position. Or just move it, if already created.
If you want the popup to disappear automatically when it looses focus, then handle a corresponding message, probably WM_ACTIVATE or WM_KILLFOCUS.

Hi, ALl
in VC 6.0 i can use:
MSG* pMsg = &AfxGetThread()->m_msgCur;
build OK.

but in VC 7.0

error C2039: 'm_msgCur' : is not a member of 'CWinThread'

i can not know why?
Who help me?

thank for reading.

You can use AfxGetCurrentMessage() in VC7.0.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

I even wonder how it is compiling. Why are you calling DoModal for a CFrameWnd (which as nothing to do with a CDialog) and how did you proceed to do such a think ?
