You might want to ask your ATL questions in microsoft.public.vc.atl

Nothing inherently wrong with that.

No. But you can use CDialogImpl instead.
There is a problem with modeless dialog boxes created by a DLL: the main
executable does not know that your DLL has created a modeless dialog,
and thus it does not call IsDialogMessage from its message loop. Which
means that tabbing and keyboard shortcuts won't work in your dialog.
There are a number of ways around this difficulty - make sure you've
planned to implement one of them.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
