Detecting modal dialogs in MFC

How can I programmatically detect if my MFC application currently is displaying a modal dialog or property sheet? Currently I'm using the following, but I feel that the code also triggers for modeless dialogs.

bool HasModalDialog(const CWnd* pWnd)
{
   const CWnd* pChildWnd = pWnd ? pWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDPREV) : NULL;
   while (pChildWnd)
   {
      if (pWnd == pChildWnd->GetTopLevelParent() &&
         (pChildWnd->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CDialog)) ||
         pChildWnd->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CPropertySheet))))
      {
         return true;
      }

      pChildWnd = pChildWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDPREV);
   }

   return false;
}

Usage:

HasModalDialog(AfxGetMainWnd())

Anyone got a alternative way of detecting modal dialogs?

Have you tried CWnd::GetLastActivePopup?

I haven't tested this to see if it'll work for modal dialogs only.

Edit 1: According to Raymond Chen, GetLastActivePopup should return the current active modal dialog.

Edit 2: Perhaps another method to retrieve the current modal window would be to modify your code to check for a disabled parent/owner - modal dialogs should always disable their owner before displaying.

I've tried many ways to solve that, why i needed that because i'm dealing with code that declare all the dialog as pointers to allocated in the heapmemory (TDialog* d = new TDialog) this was OWL code I converted it to MFC I want to delete those pointers automatically only if the dialog is modal it is not allocated in the heap, so i need to check for it my solution was easy to override the DoModal in my inherited class and set a flag isModal to true if it is not shown using DoModal the flag isModal will still null_ptr as it was initialized in the constructor

class  : public CDialog
{
    private:
        bool isModal
    public:
        CMyDlg(int id, CWnd* parent = NULL) : CDialog(id, parent), isModal(false)
        {

        }

        virtual INT_PTR DoModal()
        {
            isModal = true;
            return CDialog::DoModal();//return __super::DoModal();
        }

        bool IsModal()
        {
            return isModal;
        }

        virtual void OnCancel()
        {
            if(isModal)
            {
                CDialog::OnCancel();
            }
            else
            {
                DestroyWindow();
            }
        }

        virtual void OnOk()
        {
            if(isModal)
            {
                CDialog::OnCancel();
            }
            else
            {
                DestroyWindow();
            }
        }
        virtual void PostNcDestroy()
        {
            delete this;
        }
}

If you are only detecting windows within your application then you could derive your own CDialog and CPropertySheet and put a simple bool in there that keeps track of whether it is modal or not.

bool HasModalDialog(const CWnd* pWnd)
{
   const CWnd* pChildWnd = pWnd ? pWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDPREV) : NULL;
   while (pChildWnd)
   {
      if (pWnd == pChildWnd->GetTopLevelParent() )
      {
         if ( pChildWnd->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyDialog) )
         {
             return ((CMyDialog*)pChildWnd)->IsModal();
         }

         if ( pChildWnd->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyPropertySheet) )
         {
             return ((CMyPropertySheet*)pChildWnd)->IsModal();
         }
      }
      pChildWnd = pChildWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDPREV);
   }

   return false;
}

There must be another way to do it but thats the only way I can think of off the top of my head.
