It should. Show us the code.

=================

What code are you using? It should work fine if you do it properly. First, make
sure define the variable as a member of you class, otherwise you risk it
destroying the window when it goes out of scope. Second, make sure you put it at
the right coordinates, so it doesn't get under any other control or out of the
visible area of the dialog window.

BOOL CShowFeedbackDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
 TRACE("\nCShowFeedbackDlg::OnInitDialog");
 CDialog::OnInitDialog();

 SetWindowPos( NULL,
     m_dlgEnclosingRect.left, m_dlgEnclosingRect.top ,
     m_dlgEnclosingRect.Width(), m_dlgEnclosingRect.Height(),
     SWP_NOZORDER );

CRect buttonRect;
 buttonRect.SetRect(m_dlgEnclosingRect.left, m_dlgEnclosingRect.bottom -35,
m_dlgEnclosingRect.right, m_dlgEnclosingRect.bottom -5);
 m_bc_ok.Create("OK",BS_PUSHBUTTON, buttonRect, this, IDOK);
 m_bc_ok.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

 return TRUE;

(a) I think you need WS_CHILD style.

(b) You need to do a ScreenToClient() to get the button rectangle in client
coordinates.

(c) Also, I presume you have gotten rid of the original button with the IDOK
identifier (if you haven't then you are trying to create two controls with the
same ID, which has to create a problem, not quite sure what would happen...).
But you could have just kept the original OK button and used MoveWindow() or
SetWindowPos() to move it.

HTH,
