CDialog

does anyone know how to open a 'processing' dialog and then close it again from the main app dialog.

for example:

CProcessingDlg.OPEN() //i dont know the exact call. ( i think it is DoModal(), but not sure)

for (... 

{

     //stuff

}

CProcessingDlg.COLSE() // again, i dont know the call to make.

I am using MSVC6

thanks

create it as a modeless dialog (see MSDN) so that the program can continue working.

There are lots of examples on the net. Google for "how to create a modeless dialog" and you get several good hits. Here's just one of them

google should become one of your best programming tutors

If you have difficulty finding the help you need, I have an example at home that I used as part of a Uni module that I can try and dig out for you.

That example is using MFC CDialog class. If you don't know MFC then yes, that will probably mean nothing to you. But the title of this thread -- CDialog -- assumes you are wring MFC code. CFormView is a specialized view, not a CDialog. Download and run the demo program to see how it works.

I use MFC, but as have only just started i am still a bit unsure.

This is all one big steep learning curve for me...

Yes I know that feeling well. I read somewhere that its about a 1 year learning curve, and I believe it. Buy a good book and keep it handy by your computer because you'll need it. I got one that was tutorial style and it helped a lot, I referred to it often for about the first year or two. Also, do the Microsoft Scribble tutorial if you are using MS VC++ 6.0 compiler. I don't know of a M$ tutorial for .NET, but there might be one.

Nellie: your sig should say "members who consisted of a large portion..." you're using "whom" incorrectly.

Just wanted to let you know.
