When you double click on the button as I showed previously the VC++ 6.0 IDE will create the correct message map entry for you -- you do NOT have to code that yourself. After clicking that button, the message map in the *.cpp file should like something like this:
And in the *.h file
Attached is the complete project I made, minus compiler-generated files.
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDlgtestDlg, CDialog)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CDlgtestDlg)
ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND()
ON_WM_PAINT()
ON_WM_QUERYDRAGICON()
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_BUTTON1, OnButton1)
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()And in the *.h file
protected:
HICON m_hIcon;
// Generated message map functions
//{{AFX_MSG(CDlgtestDlg)
virtual BOOL OnInitDialog();
afx_msg void OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam);
afx_msg void OnPaint();
afx_msg HCURSOR OnQueryDragIcon();
afx_msg void OnButton1();
//}}AFX_MSG
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
}Attached is the complete project I made, minus compiler-generated files.

Your OnSim should look like:
Please reread the manual concerning the return values of DoModal(). There is no point in comparing the return value against control IDs.
Another strange thing: are you sure the Button is in CMainFrame? Usually you only have IDs of menu items with ON_COMMAND handlers there.

If you are forced to reinvent the wheel at least try to invent a better one!

>>Are you sure the Button is in CMainFrame?
Dialog projects do not have a CMainFrame class (assuming he created a dialog project, not SDI or MDI)

Hey AncientDragon and Jencas,
thanks a million for all your help. From looking at your example AncientDragon I think I may finally understand what is going on. Again thank you for posting that. Could I ask one small favour from you guys, could you recommand a good book for MFC, I have "Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++" by Richard M. Jones and "Professional MFC with Visual C++ 6" by Mike Blaszczak but im finding it hard to dig what I want from these two books. Is there any "bible" book for MFC like "Programming principles and practice using C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup book is for C++? Thanks again for all your help and time.
Colm.

There have been many major changes to MFC since that compiler was released. I started learning it by doing the Scribble Tutorial
That tutorial will not be useful on VC++ 2005/8 compilers.

The source code for VS2005/8 can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ts(VS.80).aspx
