A blank empty dialog template centred in it's parent at runtime and done the way speedbump is suggesting is coded below. It is pretty straight forward you just need to allocate global memory block as the template and you can fill the controls in at initialization
int DialogFromTemplate (HWND parent, int DialogWth, int DialogHt, char* DlgTitle, DLGPROC handler)
{
   int nchar, ret;
   int x, y;
   RECT r;
   HGLOBAL hgbl;
   LPDLGTEMPLATE lpdt;
   LPWORD lpw;
   LPWSTR lpwsz;

   GetClientRect(parent, &r);	 	                                      // Get parent client area
   x =  ((r.right+r.left)/2);		                                     // Calc x client centre position
   y = ((r.bottom+r.top)/2);		                                     // Calc y client centre position

    /* from the client centre the dialog left is half width and top half height less */
    x -= DialogWth/2;
    y -= DialogHt/2;

   /* template size and position are in multiples of 2 .. yeah its weird */
    x /= 2;				                                       // X client left position in template units
    y /= 2;				                                       // Y client top position in template units
	
   hgbl = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_ZEROINIT, 1024);                               // Allocate memory
   if (!hgbl) return -1;		 	                                      // If allocate fail exit
   lpdt = (LPDLGTEMPLATE)GlobalLock(hgbl);                              // Lock the allocated memory
   lpdt->style = WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU;  // Window style
   lpdt->cdit = 0;					  // Number of controls
   lpdt->x  = x;					  // X position
   lpdt->y  = y;					  // Y psoition
   lpdt->cx = DialogWth/2;				  // Window width (template units)
   lpdt->cy = DialogHt/2;				  // Window height (template units)
   lpw = (LPWORD)(lpdt + 1);				  // Set pointer address
   *lpw++ = 0;					  // No menu
   *lpw++ = 0;					  // Predefined dialog box class (by default)
   lpwsz = (LPWSTR)lpw;				  // Typecast pointer
   nchar = 1 + MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, DlgTitle, 
	  -1, lpwsz, 50);				  // Title of dialog
   lpw += nchar;					  // Increment by size of name
   *lpw++ = 0;					  // No creation data
   GlobalUnlock(hgbl);				  // Release lock on the memory block 
   ret = (int)DialogBoxIndirectParam(GetModuleHandle(0), 
     (LPDLGTEMPLATE)hgbl, parent, Handler,  0);		  // Create the dialog from template
   GlobalFree(hgbl);					  // Free the allocated memory
    return ret;				 	  // Return result
}

In vino veritas
