Dumb question

[Scott Turchin]

Yes it is, but maybe someone new here hasn't seen this posted and wants to know too

I know the answer is right in front of my face, I've already encountered this but it's been so long.


hDlg calls this function, when the dialog box pops up you can hit ESCAPE and it goes away.

I don't want that.


By removing %IDCANCEL the problem goes away but I want a cancel button, I just want hte user to have to CLICK it.

               Case %IDCANCEL
                 If CbCtlMsg = %BN_CLICKED Then Dialog End CbHndl,%FALSE
        End Select
End Select
End Function

Ah, see just by posting it I remembered the answer:

Don't use %IDCANCEL!

%IDLIC_CANCEL = %WM_USER + 2401

REPLACE %IDCANCEL with %IDLIC_CANCEL and problem goes away
