Kuphryn,
A MFC dialog application appends the About menu to the dialog's system
menu.

Just handle the WM_COMMAND message for the menu ID and use the same
code that's already displaying the dialog in the OnSysCommand handler.

Open the dialog in the resource editor and give the dialog the styles
you want.
