    Dynamic Creation of an object

    Hi,
    I have this SDI program with a CFormView class. This object creates a tab control object CTabControl which is derived from CTabCtrl (I know some would say use property sheets but there is a reason for my madness and sets it up with two tabs. Everything is fine up to there.
    I also have two other CFormView objects (with their associated dialogs in the resouce) created using the wizard in MSVS .NET 2003. What I need to know is how to create these two windows using Dynamic Creation. I have never worked with Dynamic Creation in MFC and I would really appreciate a little snippet of code explaining how to do that. Thanks a lot,

    sorry not sure what you mean....

    Have you tried adding the dialog as a class?
    highlight the entire dialog in the resource view, right click and 'add class'

    or add

    Code:
    // CSomeDlg.h dialog

class CSomeDlg : public CDialog
{
    DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CSomeDlg)

// Dialog Data
	enum	{ IDD = IDD_SOMEDLG };


//*****************//
// CSomeDlg.cpp dialog

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CSomeDlg, CDialog)
CSomeDlg::CSomeDlg(...........
    or are we talking about using Create() CreateWindow() ?

    Yes I have already created a class for the dialogs but the classes are a subset of the CFormView class not a CDialog class since I want to use it in an SDI program. With CDialog, you can easily use Create but it seems from what I read online with CFormView, you have to "dynamically Create" them somehow in a different manner and I don't know how. Thanks for the answer though

    more like this then....

    //allocate
    CSomeDlg *pThisDlg =new CSomeDlg;
    //create dialog
    pThisDlg->Create(....
    //use

    //free
    delete pThisDlg;
