Hello ;)
Another time I scratch my head in :::confusion:::
I have a dialog box... but while this dialog displays the code invoking this dialog keeps on running... Why's that?
I'm tired it's 1:33am... what did I forgot as the code running after depends on flags I set up in this dialog..
#whoosh#
Sorry, I had posted a message, but totally misread your question. :)
It's probably because you're stuck in an infinite (or nearly infinite) loop. Without any code to see, though, there's no way to make a diagnosis of exactly what's wrong with your programming. :) I would say, go through it step by step, keeping track of data and whatnot until you find the cause. Sometimes, it's a simple slip up (like using a local variable and thinking it's a global) that'll kill you. :)

"..the code invoking this dialog keeps on running"
Do you mean you wanted a Modal box?
"HEY, YOU DUMB USER THERE! Answer this box before you do anything else to my lovely program!"
That sort of thing?
You create a MODELESS dialog box by using the CreateDialog function. You create a MODAL dialog box by using the DialogBox function.
Which one did you use?

"Now, son, you don’t want to drink beer. That’s for daddys, and kids with fake I.D.s."
Yes.. I need a "Hey you DUMB User, set the Flags before the flow who invoked this Dialog can continue"
Basically a Modal one... which sounds easy.
I'll post what I tried...
If called in the main window loop
invoke DialogBoxParam,hInstance,ADDR JimmyDLGName,hwnd,ADDR JimmyDLGProc,NULL
invoke MessageBox,0,ADDR AppName,ADDR AppName,0
JimmyDLGProc proc hDlg:DWORD,uMsg:DWORD,wParam:DWORD,lParam:DWORD
.IF uMsg==WM_INITDIALOG
invoke SetDlgItemText,hDlg,IDC_EDIT,ADDR szTemp
.ELSEIF uMsg==WM_CLOSE
mov GlobalFlag,FALSE
invoke EndDialog,hDlg,0
.ELSEIF uMsg==WM_COMMAND
mov eax,wParam
.IF eax==IDC_DoThis
mov GlobalFlag,0
invoke EndDialog,hDlg,0
.ELSEIF eax==IDC_DoThat
mov GlobalFlag,1
invoke EndDialog,hDlg,0
.ELSEIF eax==IDC_CANCEL
mov GlobalFlag,FALSE
invoke EndDialog,hDlg,0
.ENDIF
.ELSE
mov eax,FALSE
ret
.ENDIF
mov eax,TRUE
ret
JimmyDLGProc endp
