ignore that last one about adding the member.  It derives from CDIalog already.
 
I worked around it by setting
 
m_pParentWnd = pParentWnd
 
in the constructor of my derived class.  However, the constructor of the CXTPTaskDialogFrame (and parents) should be modified to allow passing the parent pointer up the constructor chain.

looks like there will need to be a m_pParentWnd member added to CXTPTaskDialogFrame to store the pointer from the constructor to be used in DoModal.
 
Create allows you to pass in a parent, but I need this dialog to be modal.

more on this.  this is on XP, so no built-in task dialog.
 
Inside CXTPTaskDialogFrame::DoModal(), it calls
 
InitModalIndirect(m_lpDlgTemplate);
 
this is a CDialog call, it should be passing the parent window pointer in here as well.

Hi
 
I've got an app that uses a number of frame windows, each with views in them.  One for the main part of the app, and others that are spawned to edit specific content.
 
Whenever a user closes an edit frame, without saving changes, I post a CXTPTaskDialog-derived dialog to warn them about the changes.  I set the parent to be the sub-frame, however it always brings that main frame of the app to the front before displaying the dialog, so the frame the user was working in is immediately covered.
 
Using spy++ you can see the parent window for the dialog is the desktop, not the window I specified.  The dialog centers itself on the parent, but is not a child of the parent.
