Solution 1

Just position your child dialog within the parent window. You can specify the coordinates in the dialog resource or calculate them at run time in the part of your child dialog code that handles the WM_INITDIALOG message.

what will be style of Child window?overlapped or child!Because I called child control on OnModal function.Is it right or not?

I thought you said it was a dialog? If it is some other type then it should be a child control of your dialog, in which case you can control it by adjusting its z-order (assuming you have more of these windows).

{

CSomeDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

}
