MFC Dialog Box Message Passing
In MFC, messages can be passed between two dialog boxes using the following methods:
- Utilize global variables: Define a global variable in one dialog box so that it can be accessed directly in another dialog box to pass messages.
- Use message mapping: send a custom message in one dialog box, and have another dialog box receive the message by processing it in the message mapping table.
- By using messaging mechanism, messages can be passed through sending custom messages or WM_COPYDATA messages.
- Utilize shared memory: Use shared memory to facilitate communication between two dialog boxes.
- Using Windows message queue: Communication between two dialog boxes can be achieved by sending messages through functions such as PostMessage and SendMessage.
