Re: Modal Dialog Record and Replay
Don't initialize your data in OnInitialize.
Maybe think of your dialog class, not as a dialog class that loads and saves
data, but perhaps as a data storage class that "happens" to show a dialog.
Add a LoadData and SaveData method to your class that loads and saves the
data to/from member variables that aren't CWnd based (not control
variables).
These methods would be public and would be called instead of DoModal in the
instince that you are in replay mode (whatever that means).
By doing this, you are adding a layer of abstraction between your GUI and
your datastorage/validation and other business logic.
Doing it this way is not the best design, but it is a step closer and would
be fairly easy to implement from where you are now with the code.
LoadData would load the data from wherever you store it into member
variables (not control variables).
SaveData would store the data from the member variables into your datastore.
OnInitDialog would check to see if LoadData was already called, if not, it
would call it. Then, it would transfer the data loaded in member variables
to
the control variables.
OnOK would transfer data from your control variables to the member
variables, then call SaveData.
Doing this makes it possible for your class to be access and its business
logic to be used regardless of whether or not you show it (call DoModal).

Hi,
How do we do record and replay of modal dialog in a large code base ?
I have created a new dialog class, say CFooDialog derived from CDialog
and overridden OnInitDialog and OnOk. In OnOk, the control values are
dumped into a file and in OnInitDialog the values are read from the
file and controls populated.
In replay mode I donot want the dialog box to be shown. For that I
have overridden DoModal and done the following
INT_PTR CFooDialog::DoModal()
{
CSagDumpDialogApp *pApp = (CSagDumpDialogApp *)AfxGetApp();
if(pApp->b_ReplayMode) {
return IDOK;
}
return CDialog::DoModal();
}
But In replay mode, the control are not getting initialised, since it
is done by DoModal function.
So I want the dialog controls to be initialised but the dialog box
should not be shown to user ? How to do that ?
Thanks
