Dialog box pop-ups - SDI vs. MDI apps
I have a multiple document interface application where one child window
comes up. I'm trying to implement a simple application where when I
left click in the child window a dialog box pops up. I'm following a
mix of two examples. One on dialog boxes and one on MDI's. I create
the dialog resource and class and follow an example for a modeless dialog
box. I create a function for the left mouse click and during debug the
program gets there but no dialog box pops-up.
The project is caled Multi, and the dialog class is CSSDialog. Below are
some code fragments.
------------------------------------------------------------
SSDialog.h
----------
class CSSDialog : public CDialog
{
private:
CView* m_pView;
public:
CSSDialog(CView* pView);
BOOL Create();
// Construction
public:
CSSDialog(CWnd* pParent = NULL); // standard constructor
// Dialog Data
//{{AFX_DATA(CSSDialog)
enum { IDD = IDD_SS };
// NOTE: the ClassWizard will add data members here
//}}AFX_DATA
// Overrides
// ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides
//{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CSSDialog)

virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX); // DDX/DDV support

// Generated message map functions
//{{AFX_MSG(CSSDialog)
// NOTE: the ClassWizard will add member functions here
//}}AFX_MSG
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()

};
//{{AFX_INSERT_LOCATION}}
// Microsoft Developer Studio will insert additional declarations
immediately before the previous line.
#endif //

My goal is to have a project window where I can have multiple dialog
boxes pop up from various pull down menu items. These dialog boxes
will be modeless so I can move between them and enter values/click
buttons, etc. Am I correct in assuming that I need an MDI for this????
Thank you.
