Topic: Why OnInitDialog not called?

I have a CXTPDockingPane in my ChildFrame. The docking pane is attached to a CXTResizeDialog. I wanted to do a few initializations in the OnInitDialog and controls resizing, but the function CXTResizeDialog::OnInitDialog was not called at all. What did I do wrong?

I am using v9.601 pro. Thanks in advance for any helps!

///////////////////////// Code ///////////////////////////

m_pwndContractSelector = m_paneManager.CreatePane ( IDR_PANE_CONTRACT_SELECTER,
                  CRect(0, 0,120, 120),
                  xtpPaneDockTop,
                  m_paneManager.GetC lientPane() );

m_dlgContractSelector = new CXTResizeDialog();
m_dlgContractSelector->Create(IDD _CONTRACT_SELECTOR,this);

m_pwndContractSelector->Attach( m_dlgContractSelector );

m_pwndContractSelector->SetOption s(xtpPaneNoCloseable);

// m_pwndContractSelector->GetChil d()->SendMessage(WM_INITDIALOG);

Based on the function not getting called, my guess would be:

1) Make sure ALL of your "CDialog" entries in your dialog are replaced by
"CXTResizeDialog" (i.e. make sure the derivation is 100% correct)
...and don't forget the message map macros too!!! For example:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(DerivedDialogClass, BaseDialogClass)

Incorrect message maps are typically where the problem is when function calls go missing for me.

2) Make sure the window you get back from:
m_pwndContractSelector->GetChild()
is REALLY your dialog. Maybe it's something else, or a bad pointer ?!?

3) could be a creation-order issue (maybe the dialog already got the WM_INITDIALOG message), but this is just a wild guess.

Best of luck - tracking down bugs like this are never very fun.

Hi Warren:

Thanks for your help.

I tried every poosible way of putting a dialog (CDialog or CXRResizeDialog) into a docking pane and got stuck at the very same point - OnInitDialog() call. Not sure why this happens and I don't want to get into creating the controls using code in stead of using resource editor.

In the mean time, I just went back to a regular popup dialog to but I will always be interested in knowing if some one has the same issue and figured out the answer.

Thanks.

I was thinking of doing something similar (although I'm not in a big hurry - it could be a month or two). I'll try to let you know if I figure something out...

XTMFC,

I got this working (i.e. a pane with re-sizeable controls in it, layout being done in the resource editor).

I'm using Xtreme Toolkit Pro 9.80 (if the version matters). Basically what I did was copy/paste from the "grep" example. It did almost exactly what we were both looking for.

Note: the "one time" initialization code is done in OnInitialUpdate and not
OnInitDialog. And also note, that this function gets called twice (so you'll need a m_bInitialized flag, like in the example) Maybe that was your issue ?!?
