Chapter Seven -- The Modeless Dialog and Windows Common Dialogs

Chapter Seven

In Chapter 6, you saw the ordinary modal dialog and most of the controls for Microsoft Windows. Now you'll move on to the modeless dialog and to the common dialogs for Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows NT versions 4.0 and later. Modeless dialogs, as you'll remember, allow the user to work elsewhere in the application while the dialog is active. The common dialog classes are the C++ programming interface to the group of Windows utility dialogs that include File Open, Page Setup, Color, and so forth and that are supported by the dynamic link library COMDLG32.DLL.

In this chapter's first example, you'll build a simple modeless dialog that is controlled from a view. In the second example, you'll derive from the COMDLG32 CFileDialog class a class that allows file deletion.
