Closing the DialogEx window when clicking outside it's windows

[kingzooly]

Right I know I have done this a few times in the past but I have 100% gone choco brain, Closing the DialogEx window when clicking outside it's windows, I know I done it before, but not in the life in me how I did it or what projects I used it on.

Let me just clear this up, I want to click on the dialogex window without a problem and when I click back at the app I want it to close

I think the key is when you click outside the dialog , an error should return. I tried error 1303 (Error, cannot navigate pages while a dialog is visible."
but it didnt work, i tried it on page and on dialog but nothing happened .

I tired this code but i failed:

result = Application.GetLastError();
if (result == 1303) then
Close_dialog = DialogEx.Close(0);
end

Another approach is to compare the mouse positions with the dialog width i high , so if x or y are less or greater than the dialog width and high then it closes the dialog, but also didn't work because the moment u click outside the dialog it stops recording the position of the mouse, it workes inside the dialog but not outside it.

hope u remember how u did it before

I might of done it with the x/y of the mouse but I not sure I did, but I sure it will come back to me if not I will have to just start testing new ways to detect it, I sure I did have a easy way to do it before, thanks for your input tho.

I tried the mouse idea but soon as the mouse leaves the dialogex it no longer registers the the mouse click or any away from dialogex action ... hmm

if you want to have fun playing with the coordinates of the mouse use mouse.dll or mousehelper.dll

Where has colc been hiding, lets see if this was it, thanks calc



Edit
No there not them but they kinda still work on windows 10, well don Riz on a good dll.

You don't need any plugins or DLLs for this.
4 lines of code will do the job. See attached.

Nb. Ditto with tracking mouse-movement. You can track movement outside the DialogEx window with native functions - see 2nd attachment - but this won't help with passing control back to the window once it's lost focus. Stick with the 1st example attached - it's much simpler.
