Yes, I've initialised resultsdlg to NULL and tried Create(IDD_RESULTS, this) too.
I noticed that the dialog generated is not actually modal, in that I can still access the main application. In fact, it's more like the dialog became 'Always On Top'and when I minimised it, it doesn't go into the taskbar. Strange behaviour!

Btw, I initially remove the ID_OK and ID_CANCEL cos I dun need them. Could this lead to the problem?

Are you sure it is modal? The code looks ok. Maybe you think that it is modal cause you don't see it in the task bar? 
Anyway, try to give the parent to your dialog, for example the Desktop as parent (CWnd::GetDesktopWindow())

Interesting, using the desktop as the parent works. But that leads to another problem, how do I access my document data from the dialog? This dialog is a protected member of my MainFrame btw.

Depends on what your dialog is doing. You can pass a pointer to CDocument or CView, and access the document's methods and variables, or you can even pass a pointer of CMainFrame to it and enumerate the open documents...
Another way to use messages (SendMessage() and PostMessage()) to pass data between your frame-view-dialog.
As I said depends on what you want it to do

Thanks, you've been most helpful. I managed to do it using messages

Hi,
i have placed a list box in my dialog, and i want to add strings to that list box. when i try to send the message LB_ADDSTRING using the SendMessage function, its showing me an error that the handle to the control is invalid. How do u get the handle to a control in the dialogbox, if the control id is know, as well as the dialog id.
Can anyone help me. I'm doing the program in SDK.

Hi,
there are at least 2 ways to solve your problem:
Assume
o hWndDialog is the Window-handle of your dialog
o IDC_LISTBOX is the Id of the ListBox
o pszStringToAdd is a pointer to the string you want to add
1) You could use GetDlgItem() like this
HWND hWndListBox = GetDlgItem(hWndDialog,IDC_LISTBOX);
if(hWndListBox)
{
// Found the Window-handle of the ListBox
SendMessage(hWndListBox,LB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM)pszStringToAdd);
}
else
{
// Didn't found the Window-handle of the ListBox. Deal with the Error
...
}
2) alternatively, you could use SendDlgItemMessage() like this:
SendDlgItemMessage(hWndDialog,IDC_LISTBOX,LB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM)pszStringToAdd);
HTH
Cheers,
Pierre Heler-Caruel

Guess I should have previewed my last message, the #includes did not come through and the desired format is not as I typed it. Guess this is just the way things are going today

Edit your post and check the "Display this message as-is" checkbox. You might also check out the VC forum FAQ (link at the top of this page), which answers this question and many others.

I am having trouble using setprecision(), setw(), fixed, right, left,..etc... funtions for formatting output.
I want to have a number on top of another number on top of the answer all inline with eachother on the right regardless of the length of each number.
Example of desired output:
234
x 678
------
158652
However, this is what I am getting:
234
x 678
------
158652
with this code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip.h>
void main()
{
int a, b;
int Answer = 0;
cout << "\nEnter a three digit integer: ";
cin >> a;
cout << "Enter a second three digit integer: ";
cin >> b;
Answer = a * b;
cout << setiosflags(ios::right) << a << endl;
cout << setiosflags(ios::right) << "x " << b << endl;
cout << setiosflags(ios::right) << "------\n";
cout << setiosflags(ios::right) << Answer << endl;
}
This code seems inefficient and is not giving good results. I would be greatful for any suggestions anyone may have.

Performancewise, is it better to pass by reference or pass by pointer if applicable?
Thanks,

There is a difference if the function needs to change the pointer
It cant do that to a reference

Hmmm. You answer only to what is asked eh?
I am reminded of a joke.
It's a phone call
A: Hello.
B: Hello.
A: Can I speak to George?
B: No
A: Huh? I want to speak to George
B: Maybe, but you cannot
A: I insist. Gimme George now.
B: I cannot
A: Why not????????
B: George is not home
A: Sh*t

If the function modifies the pointer then pass it as a pointer, because references will be treated as const pointers [or am I wrong?] if they are a reference to a stack variable.

sheesh!
I was being stupid.
Pass a pointer if the function needs to change the pointer.
It cannot change a reference variable's address

When passing user defined types, using references can improve performance. For builtin types it doesn't matter which way you do it.

Thanks. That really reminds me of Deitel & Deitel C++ How to Program's performance tips.

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Gdiplus::Graphics class sports a [Fill|Draw]RoundRect() function (or similar.) I know I can use a GraphicsPath object (with lines and arcs) to represent the same shape, but it seems strange that such a basic function could be omitted by the implementation?
/Andreas

|

Nope - not there.
I did it like this:
GraphicsPath* CGPaintShape::MakeRoundRect(Point topLeft, Point bottomRight, INT percentageRounded)
{
ASSERT (percentageRounded >= 0 && percentageRounded <= 100);
INT left = MIN(topLeft.X, bottomRight.X);
INT right = MAX(topLeft.X, bottomRight.X);
INT top = MIN(topLeft.Y, bottomRight.Y);
INT bottom = MAX(topLeft.Y, bottomRight.Y);
INT offsetX = (right-left)*percentageRounded/100;
INT offsetY = (bottom-top)*percentageRounded/100;
GraphicsPath * path = new GraphicsPath;
path->AddArc(right-offsetX, top, offsetX, offsetY, 270, 90);
path->AddArc(right-offsetX, bottom-offsetY, offsetX, offsetY, 0, 90);
path->AddArc(left, bottom - offsetY, offsetX, offsetY, 90, 90);
path->AddArc(left, top, offsetX, offsetY, 180, 90);
path->AddLine(left + offsetX, top, right - offsetX/2, top);
return path;
}

Ok, that's what I suspected anyway... I have to deal with different vectors for the ARC, but that should not present any problem. Just wan't to make sure I don't reinvent the wheel to many times
Thanks for the reply and sample

As I was skimming through a reference book tonight I ran across a description of the template class, complex. I know nothing of it, having had no prior need for it, but I'm curious about the operator:
<br />
complex& operator*=(const complex& rhs)<br />
Does the return value contain the dot (scalar) or the cross (vector) product? And if it's the cross product, which part of the return value represents the component normal to the Re/Im plane?
Can't imagine any immediate use for knowing, but who knows when the circumstance might arise...
