It works the same. You create an instance of the dialog class and call it. It doesn't care where it is.

Can you explain it clearly? I don't understand how to do it.

Christian Graus 13-Nov-12 11:40am

It makes no difference that you're inside a dialog. You do it the same as you do it elsewhere. Why are you learning MFC in 2012 ? C# is a far better choice if you're starting out.

I know C#. If you can answer my question, please. Don't ask me about java or c#.
I explain clearly my question:
I have a parent dialog and a child dialog.
My prolem is: how can i show "parent dialog" and "child dialog" in it.

Christian Graus 13-Nov-12 11:53am

Do you mean the child is a new dialog, or embedded inside the parent ? I think perhaps your question is not clear.

thongtran297 13-Nov-12 11:57am

No it isn't the new dialog.
example:
i have a list of something and control in a dialog,
and now i want add this dialog to a difference dialog

OK, you can't easily embed a dialog in a dialog, it's just like C#. The best thing is to create a control, and embed that in a dialog to use as a dialog, and in the other dialog to embed it with other things added.

Shouldn't you embed the controls of the dialog, instead of the dialog itself?

Christian Graus 13-Nov-12 12:57pm

That's precisely what I said, or at least, what I meant to say

You can use tab order dialogs in your parent dialog. Please check the link

Solution 2

The way to do this in MFC is to create your re-usable dialog and make it into a custom control. It's been many years since I did this last, but have a look at:
Creating Custom Controls and
Creating embedded dialogs in MFC.
