Hi, I apologize for this lamer question, but I can't still resolve this problem:

I open a dialog to get some information from user (few edit controls). When user cliks "ok" I want to get these information in parent window?

How can I pass these information? (and when? before closing dialog and after it is clicked to "ok" ?)

See the help for the UpdateData() function for more information, but basically when the user clicks 'OK', this is the function that transfers data from the dialog box to the data members that are tied to the dialog's controls. Then you should be able to use those variables as needed.

UpdateData() set values of local vars
but I need to set values of vars in parent window.

is this possible with UpdateData() as well?

One method that works for me is to send into the dialog a pointer to a structure declared in the parent. Then when the dialog closes (say use OnDestroy), write the values into that structure. They will then be available to the parent after the dialog has gone.

so:
1. create a public method that will take a pointer to a structure as its argument.
2. declare the structure in the parent before starting the dialog
3. After decalring the dialog, and before using DoModal(), call this new function and pass the address of the structure
4. in the OnDestroy function write the values back to the parent using the structure pointer.

Hope this helps

yeah, I has already thought about something like that. thx

Now I discovered a better way how to get info. When "DoModal" returns value, the dialog is still "alive" and so you can access its control edits etc...

Looks a very reasonable way to do it. I think you have solved this problem now.
