During the life cycle of a dialog box, the user invokes the dialog box, typically inside a command handler that creates and initializes the dialog object, the user interacts with the dialog box, and the dialog box closes.
For modal dialog boxes, your handler gathers any data the user entered once the dialog box closes. Since the dialog object exists after its dialog window has closed, you can simply use the member variables of your dialog class to extract the data.
For modeless dialog boxes, you may often extract data from the dialog object while the dialog box is still visible. At some point, the dialog object is destroyed; when this happens depends on your code.
一般地,对话框是在响应一个命令消息的时候被创建的,也就是在一个command handller里创建一个对话框,用户和该对话框进行交互然后关闭该对话框。 对于模态对话框,你写的command handller一般在对话框被关闭后来获取用户在对话框里输入的数据,对话框窗口被关闭后对话框对象依然是存在的,你依然可以调用对话框的成员来获取用户已输入的信息。对于非模态对话框,你可以在对话框不关闭的时候就随时获取对话框对象里的数据。对话框对象何时被销毁完全取决于你的代码。
