    Loading Child Windows from Resources

    Hello.

    I'm using VC++ 6 and Pure Win32 API. No MFC.

    I'm trying to figure this one out. It's quite frustrating, but it's probably something really simple that I just overlooked...maybe.

    I'm trying to load from resource a child window. I've made the frame and client windows, but when I try to load the Child Dialog, it never appears. I'm honestly stumped at this point.

    I first searched for an answer before asking, but all of the searchs came up with creating the window from scratch, and I just want to load mine from a resource.

    Right now, I'm just using the

    Code:
    hChildWnd = CreateDialog(blah);
    to create a modeless dialog. In the resource editor, I've got it set to a child window, not popup or overlapped.

    Is there some special way of loading it in the code I'm not familiar with?


    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Perhaps it is a problem with your resource. Could you please post the code.

    Call ShowWindow() to display the dialog.

    Or specify WS_VISIBLE in the dialog resource.
