SUMMARY
This article describes how to implement the standard OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons in a modeless CPropertySheet object.

MORE INFORMATION
For a modeless CPropertySheet, the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) resize the sheet and hide the standard buttons in the CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog member function. To prevent MFC from doing this, perform the following steps:
 * Derive a class from CPropertySheet and override the OnInitDialog function.
 * Set "m_bModeless" to FALSE and remove the WF_CONTINUEMODAL style for "m_nFlags".
 * Call CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog.
 * Set "m_bModeless" back to TRUE and add the style WF_CONTINUEMODAL to "m_nFlags".

The following sample code illustrates this technique: // CMySheet is derived from CpropertySheet. // Compile options needed: default. BOOL CMySheet::OnInitDialog {  m_bModeless = FALSE; m_nFlags |= WF_CONTINUEMODAL;

BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog;

m_bModeless = TRUE; m_nFlags &= ~WF_CONTINUEMODAL; return bResult; } In a modeless CPropertySheet object, the OK and Cancel buttons do not close the property sheet when they are clicked. They do send a WM_COMMAND message with IDOK or IDCANCEL to the sheet, and the OnOK or OnCancel functions are called for the page. To close the sheet, you can implement ON_COMMAND handlers for IDOK and IDCANCEL in the CPropertySheet and call the EndDialog function to close the sheet.
