DoModal issue

On Windows Mobile 6 I have implemented a series of popup DoModal dialogs. All of them display a number which is manipulated by a vertical scrolling control. Using the ::OnVScroll() function I update the button's number. Normally, when the user is happy with the number he/she 'clicks' on the number to dismiss the dialog.

However, I would also like to be able to dismiss the dialog when the user 'clicks' anywhere outside of the dialog. I have looked into into 'SetWindowsHookEx' and this is not possible for Windows Mobile. I have also tried SetCapture, GetCapture, & ReleaseCapture but they don't work when the dialog has an additional control. So right now I'm stuck with the system beeping at me when I 'click' outside the dialog.

Does anyone know of a work around for this, I can't believe I'm the first one to run into this problem

You may want to look at handling the WM_ACTIVATE message.

You might try with non-modal dialogs. That way you could handle the mouse click outside of the popups.
