I have a parent CDialog dialog box which is supposed to call a CFormView child dialog. I know that, to call a CDialog dialog box, we use DoModal() function. Is there a similar function for CFormView as well to call it from anywhere?

  • I think we need more information about what you are trying to do. – Andrew Truckle Jan 29 '17 at 15:09
  • I have 2 dialogs: 1. Cdialog dialog which is the main window. 2. CfromView child dialog which is called from the main dialog for auto-suggestive item search. This is implemented using the following code available at [link](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/187753/Extended-CComboBox). This code uses Cfromview class for the implementation and I need to call it from the Cdialog main window. I hope this explains the issue. – Prachi Geda Jan 30 '17 at 05:31
  • sorry i am not able to explain it better. the point is to call a cformview child dialog from a cdialog main dialog. – Prachi Geda Jan 30 '17 at 05:35
  • I don't know how to do this. I only know how to embed a view into a dialog. Sorry. – Andrew Truckle Jan 30 '17 at 05:37
  • okay. thanks for you reply though! but I don't completely understand what embedding means here. can you explain? It might help. Sorry, I am new to MFC. – Prachi Geda Jan 30 '17 at 05:40
  • Basically embedded means the view becomes part of the dialog itself like another control. – Andrew Truckle Jan 30 '17 at 05:42
  • oh nice! I can use that. maybe that is what I am looking for. I didn't form my question properly earlier. can you explain how to embed them? – Prachi Geda Jan 30 '17 at 05:51
