Additional parameters in ShowDialog

[timer24]

Hi Gintaras:

Is there a way to send additional parameters with ShowDialog without using global variables?, for example i want to send a variable of which record to be edited on a database

Thank you.

Regards.

Easiest - use thread variables, like
int-- t_var

Or pass address of your variables to ShowDialog as 8-th argument, and in dialog function get the address using DT_GetParam.
Function dlg_21795

Code:

Copy      Help

\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

type T21795 var1 str'var2 etc ;;add your variables to a type
T21795 _v ;;declare variable of the type

_v.var1=5

if(!ShowDialog("dlg_21795" &dlg_21795 0 0 0 0 0 &_v)) ret ;;pass address of the variable as 8-th argument

out _v.var1

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 223 135 "Dialog"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 120 116 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 170 116 48 14 "Cancel"
;3 Button 0x54032000 0x0 12 12 48 14 "Button"
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x203000A "" "" ""

ret
;messages
T21795& v=+DT_GetParam(hDlg)
sel message
,case WM_INITDIALOG
,case WM_DESTROY
,case WM_COMMAND goto messages2
ret
;messages2
sel wParam
,case 3
,v.var1+1
,case IDOK
,case IDCANCEL
ret 1

I think you could also pass a string using SetProp/GetProp on the dialog, at least I've done it with toolbars
