If you are NOT using MFC, use DialogBox or DialogBoxParam to create a modal dialog. Use CreateDialog or CreateDialogParam to create a modeless dialog.

If you ARE using MFC, simply use ClassWizard (while in the Dialog Editor, press Ctrl+W) to add a new class for your dialog. Then, in the calling code, use this code--modify it with the name of your dialog class.

[tt]CExampleDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal();[/tt]

That would create a modal dialog. For a modeless dialog this would work:

[tt]CExampleDlg *pDlg = new CExampleDlg;
pDlg->Create(CExampleDlg::IDD,[/tt]pointer to owner CWnd[tt]);[/tt]

Notice in the second example, the object is dynamically allocated. This is necessary for a modeless dialog because if it is created on the stack, it will be destroyed at the end of the calling function.
