I need to display a dialog from a resource -only DLL

Hi,

I created a resource-only Dll to store string, dialog, icon and bitmap. With
loadstring function i can load a string from this dll, but i don't know how
dipslay a dialog from it. here is my code :

UINT CDataResource::GetResourceDialog(int ResourceID)
{
// load resource
LPCDLGTEMPLATE lpDialogTemplate = NULL;
HGLOBAL hDialogTemplate = NULL;
HINSTANCE hInst = AfxFindResourceHandle(MAKEINTRESOURCE(ResourceID),
RT_DIALOG);
HRSRC hResource = ::FindResource(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ResourceID),
RT_DIALOG);
hDialogTemplate = LoadResource(hInst, hResource);
if (hDialogTemplate != NULL)
lpDialogTemplate = (LPCDLGTEMPLATE)LockResource(hDialogTemplate);
else
return 0;

ASSERT(lpDialogTemplate != NULL);


// HERE I WANT TO DISPLAY MY DIALOG


// free resource
UnlockResource(hDialogTemplate);
FreeResource(hDialogTemplate);

return 1;
}


Thanks in advance

At the level of the Win32 API, once you have a dialog box template in memory
all you need to do is call

::DialogBoxIndirectParam()

specifying the pointer to the template as its second parameter. You might
want to post again in an MFC group for how best to to this with the class
library.
