    Calling up a dialog from a dialog handler function

    I have a dialog box that I called up from my WinMain function with DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAIN), NULL, DlgProc);

    In the function DlgProc I want to call up another dialog box if a user clicks a certain button. How do I pass HINSTANCE from the DlgProc function?

    Is hInstance the hInst of your app? The one that's passed through the WinMain function? If so, then you can use GetModuleHandle. Also beware calling functions or starting new dialogs from your DlgProc since it will block any message processing.
