well, would be really nice to have some more info....:D

[panayotisk]

What if you put some background image to it?
And for funny controls I think ownerdraw may be necessary...

[souldog]

But I tried CDialog::MakeFriendly(SW_REALLY_I_MEAN_IT)
but it wont compile:(

[martho]

Hm, I assume MakeFriendly() is not defined by Microsoft...

[panayotisk]

What if you give it a candy?
use
::SendMessage(Dialoghwnd, WM_SWEET, 0, 0);
Or use
WM_KISS

[souldog]

I was thinking of trying WM_KISS_MY_***_IF_YOU_DONT_COMPLY

Will it work?:(
please heeeeellllppp me

[Doctor Luz]

I think this thread will receive a WM_MODERATOR_ANGRY message soon. :D

I just use the word Mxxxxx and Fxxxxx frequently, my code is too scared to disobey, who needs friendly code anyways???

[jsop]

void bittertaste ::OnUpdateSweetAction()

[souldog]

bool CDialog::OnMakeFriendly( int nFriendlyIndex );


Parameters

nFriendlyIndex;
0 so-so
1 will shake your hand
2. will buy you kunch and get you a date

Return Values:
the degree of friendliness from really sweet to ****ing asshole.
false The system decided it was in a bad mood.
true The system will be nice.

Called by the application to notify a the dialog of how friendly it
should be. Microsoft does not Guarantee whether a particular dialog on a particular computer will be nice or naughty.


But I found this in msdn. What AM I to do:(

Everyone prepare for lift-off, this thread may soon end up in another forum...

[souldog]

AHHHH.... Help I am flying

[souldog]

**** Now I am nowhere

[Yves M]

This is your captain speaking. We have landed in the Chit-Chat forum. Temperature outside is a nice 25 degrees and the sun is shining. Please keep your seatbelts fastened until the plane comes to a halt.

[Doctor Luz]

Did you created your dialog "on the fly"?

[jsop]

void CLandingDlg::OnRetractLandingGear()
{

m_LandingGear.GetOffGround(m_strLeave);
n_LandingGear=up(m_strLeave);
if(n_LandingGear==up)
m_Lets.ShowTakeOff(TRUE);
UpdateData(FALSE);
}

Hawaii sounds nice...

[souldog]

**** that was a rough landing... I think I broke my ankle:(

[jsop]

Sorry Soul.....

[souldog]

It is not your fault JSOP BUTTTT BOh hoh waaaaaahhhhhh:( :(

[galathaea]

You are forgetting to call DoModal();

If you tell your dialog class to DoModal, Modal will indeed see your dialog class as much more friendly than if it IgnoredModal(), or ToldModalHeWasUgly()...

[souldog]

But Galathaea, My dialog is not that kind of dialog. It doesn't
just go around doing modals just to make the system comply.:(

This dialog needs some serious counselling!!!

[SolarFlare]

I think you need the dialogue to laugh at the user... but not with it.

[souldog]

gjs can you help my dialog. You seem to be in tune with the inner
dialog. Some background. My dialog wets the bed and tends to shake and cry
whenever I mention Yeats.

Thats just it Solar. My dialog never laughs, neither with nor at the user.
I ask so sweetly: "Please little dialog laugh, play" but it just
starts wailing. So I end up beating it in frustration.

[SolarFlare]

Actually, nocturnal enuresis is a genetically inherited trait. Is your dialogue derived from another bedwetting object? If you derive a new dialogue class from yours, will it too wet the bed? Maybe your dialoge needs to have some sense smacked into it anyway. I'll go braid the whip.

From my Human Genetics book: "Nighttime bedwetting is an age-old problem, noted as long ago as 1500BC. Treatments have ranged from drinking the broth from boiled hens combs, to blocking the urethra at night, to punishment and ridicule. What a relief it was when genetic researchers identified a gene that causes inherited nocturnal enuresis -- nighttime bedwedding. Many affected individuals, and their concerned parents, now know that their problem is not social, but genetic." So in other words, have you tried drinking the broth from boiled hens combs?

[Deniz]

OK, this is what you need to do:

Apply these 12 steps in your life and you should be ok.

1)We admitted that we were powerless over our computers, and that our lives had become unmanageable.
2)We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3)We made a decision to turn our will and our lives to the care of Microsoft, as we understood him.
4)We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our computers.
5)We admitted to God, to ourselves, and another human being the exact nature of our programming bugs.
6)We were entirely ready to have God remove these defects in our code.
7)We humbly asked him to remove our bugs.
8)We made a list of all persons we had harmed with our dodgy code and became willing to make upgrades for them all.
9)We made direct upgrades for those people except when to do so would crash their computers.
10)We continued to debug our code and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11)We sought through prayer and medication a conscience contact with our God (Microsoft), praying only for his will for us and the power to carry that out.
12)Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps we tried to carry this message to programmers and practice these principles in all our affairs.

Does your dialog interact well with other dialogs, or does it revel in its modality??

[souldog]

Thanks for trying guys. The problem is solved. I inolved a brutal
use of the delete key and now my dialog is no more.

[Mick]

Poor guy, I remember him as a kid, just an OK and CANCEL button...he had spunk though.

[gjs368]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Souldog - didn't you save a copy - can't you bring him back??

WE CAN SAVE HIM !!!!

I can only guess that your dialog is not directly derived from CDialog, but inherits from a class like CInsecureDialog or possibly even CSigmondFreudsNightmareDialog.
The only course of salvation for this unfortunate dialog is likely to involve a transplant.

True, it will be a difficult undertaking - providing you are able to recover him - but Soul, you simply must swap out the problematic base class to provide your poor, suffering dialog with more emotional stability, independence, and self-worth.
Consider CSaneJaneDialog or CWaterOffADucksBackDialog for the delicate operation ahead. And, whatever you do, DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR CWhackedDialog or CFreddysRevengeDialog - you may not survive the results!!

All the best to you and your dialog,
gjs

[hometown]

Yes, thats it....an R can sometimes turn out to be an M...
Not sure but in encrytography, that can be....:(

How can you display such insensitivity at a time like this???? Do you not realize that a poor and unfortunate dialog may have met an untimely demise - and WORST OF ALL - He just needed a different base class to become a productive and happy member of digital society ??!!?!?!

Better it end this way than in suicide. Well, I guess would be equally good. Actually no, the dialogue didn't even have the guts to kill itself. Lousy (*$^% thing. If it were smart and lazy it would reprogram itself as OnInit(){OnCancel();}.

[gjs368]

Souldog -- SOULDOG !!

Did you try to recover him?


DON'T YOU EVEN CARE????

[souldog]

Please do not lament the passing of my dialog.


If only time itself would invert
And let the moment of creation pass again
When this malformed dialog sprung from my head.
I would redirect the energy
And pass instead a mighty wind.
Oh the pleasure in contemplation
Of such putrid smell and raucous noise.

No friends, do not lament for my dialog.
Instead extend your sympathies
To one, whom by creation can claim
No semblance of piece of mind.
For perversion beget perversion
And there is no relief afforded
By the relentless march of father time.

All the animals even the most cruel ones still need food to keep living...and since here it is a HIM, no matter how he is actually feeling...
Xeon was just so weak and uncontrollable...it was Xeon who told everyone about himself while actually no one asked him to do so...How about you gjs386 ? What makes you be more active those days ? Having fun by hurting people ?:)

[gjs368]

Having fun by hurting people ?I didn't kill a defensless dialog just because I couldn't cope!!

Homey, you are source of consternation. Once again you show up
in a purple polyester suite at the funeral of, to you, a stranger and
attempt to hock your filthy wares.

Yes, Souldog, I am speaking for myself only...I face it...
Can a smile on my face make you believe in me ? Here it comes :)

[hometown]

Now, the dialog problem has been solved, May I ask for the closing of this thread ??? :)

[SolarFlare]

The dialogue is happy in death as it was angry in life. It will no longer be tormented by befuddled users, poor screen resolutions, and spilled coffee. May we all find a source of strength by remembering this dialogue, and the kind names we used to call it (the kind ones please).

[Mick]

Tonight we murder - Ministry.

A murder of crows - Scenario in MYTH...good game, MYTH II awesome game.

[hometown]

Much awesome when K use the place of J, while J must stand before K.
If someone still remember what I said before...that way you are

Only under some conditions, will people recognise the truth and lessons to learn. You also think so right ?
I saw alot of things but the most valuable one I could/or perhaps I must consider is the difference between a dialog and a dialogue ? Sure You must find a source of strength by remembering me.... Thanks Solarflare...:)

Ah yes, well the correct spelling in English is dialogue. There is no such word dialog. However, since programmers are lazy and don't care much about spelling things correctly, Microsoft dropped the last two letters just to confuse people. I prefer to call it a dialogue in conversation, and a dialog if I am talking about the actual program. Same thing often arises with synagogue (correct) and synagog (less correct), but I don't think Microsoft ever made a CSynagog class.

Anyway, less correct doesnot mean incorrect, things I believe can correct themselves from time to time to be correct...:)

Less correct is a euphemism for incorrect. However, I do not mind seeing other people drop the end of the word, because the meaning is still understood.

Actually, I still like dialog than dialogue because it is short..:)
If you minded, I would have not kept talking to you like this, my good friend...:) But instead, much softer to lure you to sleep faster....:)

That's not true, both spellings exist and are correct. Check on dictionary.com. I'm just wondering which one of the two would be British and which one would be US usage.

Well, the internet recognizes a lot of words and variations that literary people do not. Officially, dialog is not accepted as a word. You know how language people are about their words. ;)

[Mick]

Any popular usage of a word becomes a canadiate for addition to the lanquage....unless your french of course.

How many words do you think come from french in the sentence you just wrote ? ;)

And no, the spelling "dialog" has existed before the internet, it's entirely valid.

thank you, you just proved my point, that we are whores for words....

If your wonder what I am infering about the french, then gander back a couple of months ago and the stink they raised about the word 'email'

Yet another reason they can't play on the big stage anymore.

[Mick]

"Why ? Why would a nice guy like you wanna kill a genius ?
You know that the dialog really likes you. He likes you, he
really likes you. He's got something in mind for you. Aren't
you curious about that ? I'm curious, I'm very curious. You
curious ?There's something happening out there, man.
You know something, man, I know something that you don't
know. That's right, jack. The dialog is clear in his mind, but his
soul is mad . Oh yeah. He's dying, I think. He hates all
this, he hates it! But ... the dialog's ... uh ... he reads poetry out
loud, alright? ... And a voice! A voice. ... He likes you because
you're still alive. He's got plans for you. Nah, nah, I'm not
going to help you, you're going to help him, man. You're going
to help him. I mean, what are they going to say, man, when he's
gone, huh? Because he dies, when it dies, man, when it
dies, he dies. What are they going to say about him? What, are
they going to say, he was a kind dialog, he was a wise dialog, he had
plans, he had wisdom? Bullsh-t, man! Am I going to be the one,
that's going to set them straight? Look at me: wrong! ... You!"
