Closing DDT program during WM_INITDIALOG

[Adrian C Aitken]

Hi all, am I doing something stupid ?
I want to have the option of closing a DDT based program during the WM_INITDIALOG message. Listing 'A' hides the program (but task manager still shows it running), listing 'B' show the dialog and it has to be manually closed.
The mnuClose message just does DIALOG END CBHNDL ,0 and it works if I manually click on the menu item.

Listing A

    SELECT CASE CBMSG
        CASE %WM_INITDIALOG
          DoSomeThing
          IF JustOnce THEN
             DIALOG END CBHNDL, 0
             EXIT FUNCTION
          END IF


Listing B

    SELECT CASE CBMSG
        CASE %WM_INITDIALOG
          DoSomeThing
          IF JustOnce THEN
             DIALOG SEND CBHNDL , %WM_COMMAND , 0 , %mnuCLOSE
             EXIT FUNCTION
          END IF

You cannot destroy a dialog during %WM_INITDIALOG. The easy solution is to POST a message to the dialog and then abandon ship when that message arrives.
ie,

CASE %WM_INITDIALOG
  IF somecondition THEN PostMessage CBHNDL, %WM_USER + 999&, 0, 0
CASE %WM_USER+999&
  DIALOG END CBHNDL
...
END FUNCTION
