It might be due to that U may have created a dialog at run but not have declared in resource.h

 

[txjump]

in your .h file for the class that belongs to your dialog, you will find a line that looks something like

enum { IDD = IDD_TESTPRB_DIALOG };

where IDD_TESTPRB_DIALOG is the original name of your dialog. i have had it happen where my dialog has been renamed by accident and my code wont compile. its because the dialog name got changed but this line didnt. it still refers to the old name.

the key is to make sure the dialog name matches what is in your enum and that it also matches what is in your resource.h file.

hope that helps

Thanks sskumar and txjump.

It is declared in resource.h


It has been renamed. But it also has been modified in the following:

enum { IDD = IDD_TESTPRB_DIALOG };

Looking for your help.

just to clarify what you said above...

the IDD name in your resource file matches the name that shows up in the dialog properties and it matches what you have in the enum. it this example all three places should have the name IDD_EBOXBDS_DLG_NAME.

//resource.h file
#define IDD_EBOXBDS_DLG_NAME   //with whatever number is supposed to follow

//dialog.h file
enum { IDD = IDD_EBOXBDS_DLG_NAME };

//dialog properties box
ID  IDD_EBOXBDS_DLG_NAME

is that what you did?
