As far as I know, CDialog does not include an OnCreate() function. All initialisation is done in OnInitDialog().

I stand corrected; Superman has it right.

When the OnCreate handler is called, the controls are not created and positioned. OnInitDialog is called after the controls are created and positioned, but just before the dialog is shown.
