Problem with the dialog!

[abdul]

I have created a dialog procedure, the actuall dialog.

--The name of the dialog is MYDIALOG
--The name of the dialog procedure DLGPROC
--The name of my window's hwnd is WINHWND
--The name of the Instance is hInstance

How do I show a dialog box when the window is clicked?

If you still need more informations then please reply!

Maybe something like this:

//in the main window procedure
switch (message)
	{
	case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
                        DialogBox(hInstance(LPCTSTR)IDD_DIALOG1, NULL, (DLGPROC)DLGPROC);
                break;
                 }

The dialog name is: IDD_MYDLG
The dialog's procedure is: DlgProc

When I put this text in the "Move" event:

CreateDialog(hInstance(LPCTSTR)IDD_MYDLG, NULL, (DlgProc)DlgProc);

It gives me these error in vc++ 6.0:

What is the problem?

The name of the dialog is MYDIALOG
whad do you mean now your dialog name is IDD_MYDLG ???

Anyway in the code above
You forgot a comma

CreateDialog(hInstance,(LPCTSTR)IDD_MYDLG, NULL, (DlgProc)DlgProc);

I was rong both times.
Now this is the information

--The name of the dialog is IDD_MAINDLG

oooh

I used this code:

CreateDialog(hInstance,(LPCTSTR)IDD_MAINDLG, NULL, (DlgProc)DlgProc);

and I got the following errors:



C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\winprog\file1.cpp(48) : error C2065: 'hInstance' : undeclared identifier
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\winprog\file1.cpp(48) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'DlgProc'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\winprog\file1.cpp(48) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'



I think that It has some problem with the hInstance. I have declared it in the window procedure.

What is the problem again?
