Creating Your Dialog Class

For each dialog box in your program, create a new dialog class to work with the dialog resource.

Adding a Class explains how to create a new dialog class. When you create a dialog class with the Class Wizard, it writes the following items in the .h and .cpp files you specify:

In the .h file:

• A class declaration for the dialog class. The class is derived from CDialog.

In the .cpp file:

• A message map for the class.

• A standard constructor for the dialog box.

• An override of the DoDataExchange member function. Edit this function. It is used for dialog data exchange and validation capabilities as described later in Dialog data exchange and validation.
