PropSheet_CancelToClose macro (prsht.h)

  • Article

Used when changes made since the most recent PSN_APPLY notification cannot be canceled. You can also send a PSM_CANCELTOCLOSE message explicitly.

Syntax

void PropSheet_CancelToClose(
   hDlg
);

Parameters

hDlg

Type: HWND

Handle to the property sheet.

Return value

None

Remarks

PSM_CANCELTOCLOSE disables the Cancel button and changes the text of the OK button to "Close". You can use this macro or send the PSM_CANCELTOCLOSE message explicitly.

Most property sheets wait to perform irreversible changes until a PSN_APPLY notification is received. However, in some circumstances, a property sheet may make irreversible changes outside the standard PSN_APPLY/PSN_RESET sequence. One example is a property sheet that contains an Edit button that is used to display a subdialog box for editing a property. When the user clicks OK to submit the change, the property sheet page has several options:

  • It can record the changes but wait until it receives a PSN_APPLY notification to apply them. This is the preferred approach.
  • It can apply the changes immediately after exiting the subdialog box, but remember the original settings. Those settings can be used to restore the original state if a PSN_RESET notification is received.
  • It can apply the changes immediately and not attempt to restore the original settings when it receives a PSN_RESET notification. This approach is not recommended, but may be necessary if the changes are too far-reaching for the other two options to be practical.
For the third option, applications should send a PSM_CANCELTOCLOSE message to the property sheet. It indicates to the user that the changes made with the subdialog box cannot be reversed by clicking the Cancel button.
Note  This macro is not supported when using the Aero wizard style (PSH_AEROWIZARD).
