You need to derive a dialog from CDialog, let's call it CWarningDlg,
then when a button is selected, you need to create a modeless dialog
box, something like this:
CWarningDlg* pWarningDlg = new CWarningDlg( this );
pWarningDlg->Create(this);
When the function finishes, you need to destroy the modeless dialog
box:
pWarningDlg->DestroyWindow();
Hope this help, I myself am having a hard time with these modeless
dialog boxes, but I think I can help you with this problem. Let me know
if you need more help.
