There is no button in Visual Studio that allows you to switch from a dialog based application to a full main frame window app. Your best bet is probably to generate an empty application with the wizard and then carry over the parts that you already have in your dialog based application.

What exactly do you mean by "move"? Activation of a main window? Something else? Why?

There is no such thing as "call a dialog". If you want to show it on top of another one, this is a bad idea. And why?

No need to open a second dialog...

right click on current project(for example:Project1)and then Add and then resource
in new dialog box , right click on background of dialog and Add Class
Set the Class Name to CSecondDlg and base it on CDialog
now go to project1Dlg.cpp and add this :

C++

#include "SecondDlg.h"

and this code for button that you want to open second dialog:

C++

CSecondDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

did u mean this?!!
