I Have a customized Open file dialog that I use to select a file to be
sent over the internet. I added 4 edit boxes to the dialog for host
name, path, user name and password. When I call DoModal (), all the
default values are placed into their proper controls as expected,
however, when I click the button (formerly known as Open) to close the
dialog, my DoDataExchange () is never called and my new member variables
are never updated. Everything that is specific to the Open File dialog
still works fine. Only my new members are not updated. For now I solved
the problem by mapping the EN_UPDATE message for each edit box. I don't
like doing it this way. My new dialog is a child window of the Open file
dialog so I know which DoDataExchange () is being called. There has got
to be a way to get my DoDataExchange () to be called from the parent
Open File dialog?

I've created this new dialog per the example in Inside Visual C++ 5.0
from Microsoft Press. Unfortunately, it doesn't deal with any data
exchanges like this. It does something similar to what I need to do with
EN_UPDATE.

The only help I found so far was Knowledge Base article Q117607, but it
isn't the same problem.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanx in advance.
Dave.

I believe overriding OnFilenameOk() and calling UpdateData(TRUE); there is
as close as you can get to "normal" dialog behaviour.

Did you call CDialog::UpdateData() in your overwritten OnOK()???

Yes I did. Using TRACE statements I found that my OnOK () never gets
called either.
