Re: OninitDialog called once in a property page
I do this same sort of thing for settings dialogs and other property sheets.
I find it to be a bit klunky, but it works. I typicall set up a macro like:
#define GET_PARENT ((CSettingsDialog *)GetParent())
and then access variables with calls like:
m_csName = GET_PARENT->GetName();
or
GET_PARENT->SetName(m_csName);
This is assuming a lot since GetParent() could return NULL so I would more
likely check the value first, but you get the idea. I wish there was a
better way to store common data for property sheets.

OnInitDialog is called exactly once, when the dialog is created.
OnSetActive is called
each time the dialog is activated. Do any serious work in OnSetActive.
There is a
corresponding OnKillActive when the existing page is about to switch to
another.
What I do is keep variables in the property sheet; I extract values from
controls on
OnKillActive and store them to these variables and retrieve values from
these variables
and set them to controls on OnSetActive. This allows me to maintain
values (perhaps a
name) across as many property pages as I want.

Hi
I have an application in which I have a property sheet and a few property
pages on it. The property sheet is in Wizard mode. When the user clicks
Next
button on second last propertypage, I have to do some processing and
display
some results on the last page accordingly. I wrote this processing and
displaying code in "OnInitDialog" function of last property page class.
Now
there is a problem, that OnInitDialog gets called only the first time. If
the user click "Back" from the last page and then click next, then
OnInitDialog does'nt get called for last property page and the results on
this page dont get processed again. Any idea which event is fired every
time
a property page comes into focus.
