creating Modal vs. Non-Modal dialogs
Well, if the dialog box is your apps main window, it shouldn't be a modeless
dialogbox, if you use a modeless dlg then exiting the app becomes more
involved. But that's besides the point.
I really can't solve the problem unless I know what the exception is. Keep
in mind that if you change the dialog to modeless then InitInstance needs to
return TRUE.
Here is one suggestion, create a dlg based app using the wizard. then open
up the file with your App class.
move the dlg declaration into the h file.
replace the line
int nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
with
dlg.Create(CYourDlg::IDD,NULL);
and return TRUE
Anyway, either include the exception or include the piece of code that
creates the dlg.
