Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on August 19 2009, 11:38am Reply on August 19 2009, 8:26pm: I'd like to, but it's really in outline form, so not terribly useful... But I'll list a few high level tips here: It's often the easiest to build your application out of plain dialog (DialogBoxParam() or CreateDialogParam()) Use Get/SetWindowLong(hwnd,GWL_USERDATA) (or GWLP_USERDATA for x64) for "this" pointers, if an object owns the dialog. Set it in WM_INITDIALOG, and get it for other messages. On the same token, when the owner object has a dialog, it's good to do the following: The object's constructor sets m_hwnd to 0. The object's destructor does if (m_hwnd) DestroyWindow(m_hwnd); WM_INITDIALOG sets this->m_hwnd to hwndDlg WM_DESTROY clears this->m_hwnd to 0 Comment... Question: How has fame affect your life?

I work too much, overall, I think.. though I do find myself able to take a few days off at times. Comment...
