pass parameter in oninitdialog

[Gregorina]

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking time from you busy day to help me out. I very much appreciate it. I need to pass a variable to a dialog box.

Doc* pDoc;
Dialog dlg;		
int input = dlg.DoModal();

When I call dlg.DoModal() I need to somehow pass the pDoc into the dialog box. Everything I need the variable for is taking place inside the oninitdialog function. Is there anyway to pass the variable to that function? Again thank you very much for the help.

You can't. Typically you'd create a member variable in Dialog, such as

Doc* m_pDoc;

Then your code would look like

Doc* pDoc;
Dialog dlg;	
dlg.m_pDoc = pDoc;	
int input = dlg.DoModal();

Then you'd access m_pDoc from OnInitDialog.

Wow that was easy. Thank you. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
