Mmmh, it starts to get a little frustrating here...
The dialog opens up correctly, but no value is set.

What's wrong here? Any ideas?

  
     //create dialog  
     if (!gDial) gDial=new(mDialog);  
       
     //initialize  
     gDial->SetFloat(IDC_LIMIT_R,3.0,0.0,10000.0,1.0);  
     gDial->SetFloat(IDC_LIMIT_G, settings->GetFloat(1),0.0,10000.0,1.0);  
     gDial->SetFloat(IDC_LIMIT_B, settings->GetFloat(2),0.0,10000.0,1.0);  
     t1=settings->GetFloat(3);  
     t2=settings->GetFloat(4);  
     t3=settings->GetFloat(5);  
     temp=vector(t1,t2,t3);  
     gDial->SetColorChooser(IDC_COLOR1, temp, 1.0, 1.0, NO_BRIGHTNESS);  
  
     //... and open  
     gDial->Open(TRUE,-1,-1);

While I'm at it: How can I access the settings container from the dialog? I would like to update the settings when the values were changed in the dialog of course.

Thanks

? You should initialize the values in the overloaded dialog methods like Init.

Yep, I realized that in the meantime.

To sum it up for later reference:
Add the neccessary variables to the dialog class.

Use these variables in mDialog::Init() to set the dialog controls, as Init() is called right before the dialog is actually opened.

Considering this I think that the dialog methods for setting interface elements shouldn't be public anyway....

Thanks!

... and do not access settings from the dialog box either. Set the local variables of mDialog instead.
