create a dialog in a MFC application

[saffari2005]

Hi
I read mfc sample in wxWindows. after that I tried to ignore wxapp and create dialog in mfc app.
now, I haven't any error but wxdialog don't be shown,I can't see it!
I have code like this in onCreate function in dialog based mfc application:

Code: Select all

pocwxWnd = new wxDialog(null,"Test", true );

I can only see cdialog !

To see the dialog you have to use either
pocwxWnd->Show()
or
pocwxWnd->ShowModal()

oh. yes!
Is there any way to create a wxwindow without parent in the CDialog like creat wxDialog?

Sorry, I can't get you clearly.

If you want a window without parent, that what you mentioned as NULL in the wxDialog constructor!

I think you are an MFC programmer, thats why your code looks looks like that. You can go through the wx documnetation to know the arguments of the functions.
The wxDialog Constructor looks like this....

wxDialog(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, long style = wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE, const wxString& name = "dialogBox")

So follow it to make the dialog
like

Code: Select all

wxDialog MyDialog(NULL,wxID_ANY,wxT("My Dialog"));
MyDialog.Show();

yes, I'm mfc programmer but for my current project I'm trying to use mfc and wxwindow together.
I understand how to create dialog but now I have a mfc dialog and I want to create a wxwindow(not wxdilaog!) in it.but wxWindow constructor need a non Null parent, and I havent a wxwindow parent!

Doesn't the MFC sample show how to create a window without a parent? Look in the MyApp::CreateFrame() function. The sample looks a little confusing to me, but it looks like the #define START_WITH_MFC_WINDOW needs to be set to 1 to similate what you're trying to do with your application. If you set that to 1 and compile the sample, does it behave as you would expect? It might be work trying to make sure that your problem isn't an issue with wxWidgets/MFC rather than your code.

resouces in MFC exe and dll is conflict
the example to show dialog in dll:

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void Show()
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
CMyDialog dlg;
dlg.DoModal ();
}

"CreateFrame" creates a frame ! but I need a window, however Frame is kind of window.as you know wxwindow can't be create without parent.can we use a way to solve this?
