    What do you see when the program creates the dialog window?

    Make sure you give the dialog the WS_VISIBLE style, ie. with reference to the example you linked to, specifically the resource (.rc) file:
    Code:
    STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_VISIBLE
    Alternatively put a call to ShowWindow in the WM_INITDIALOG handler for the dialog box.
