DialogBox
The DialogBox macro creates a modal dialog box from a dialog box template resource. DialogBox does not return control until the specified callback function terminates the
modal dialog box by calling the EndDialog function. The DialogBox macro uses the DialogBoxParam function.
int DialogBox(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
| // handle to application instance
| LPCTSTR lpTemplate,
| // identifies dialog box template
| HWND hWndParent,
| // handle to owner window
| DLGPROC lpDialogFunc
| // pointer to dialog box procedure
| );
|
|
Parameters
hInstance
Identifies an instance of the module whose executable file contains the dialog
box template.
lpTemplate
Identifies the dialog box template. This parameter is either the pointer to a
null-terminated character string that specifies the name of the dialog box
template or an integer value that specifies the resource identifier of the dialog
box template. If the parameter specifies a resource identifier, its high-order
word must be zero and its low-order word must contain the identifier. You can
use the MAKEINTRESOURCE macro to create this value.
hWndParent
Identifies the window that owns the dialog box.
lpDialogFunc
Points to the dialog box procedure. For more information about the dialog box
procedure, see the DialogProc callback function.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the nResult parameter in the call to the EndDialog function used to terminate the dialog box.
If the function fails, the return value is  1.
Remarks
The DialogBox macro uses the CreateWindowEx function to create the dialog box. DialogBox then sends a WM_INITDIALOG message (and a WM_SETFONT message if the template
specifies the DS_SETFONT style) to the dialog box procedure. The function
displays the dialog box (regardless of whether the template specifies the WS_VISIBLE
style), disables the owner window, and starts its own message loop to retrieve
and dispatch messages for the dialog box.
When the dialog box procedure calls the EndDialog function, DialogBox destroys the dialog box, ends the message loop, enables the owner window (if
previously enabled), and returns the nResult parameter specified by the dialog box procedure when it called EndDialog.
Windows 95: The system can support a maximum of 16,364 window handles.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
