I am trying to create a modeless (or modal) dialog box. I get the following error from ''GetLastError()'' "1407 Cannot find window class" Cannot find window class?!? Well, I can''t find it for windows because Windows calls all the necessary setups internally. At least, I thought that was the idea. The function call is hsetup = CreateDialogParam(m_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_CHANNELSETUP), hwnd, (DLGPROC)ChannelSetup_Dialog, (LPARAM)dialoginfo); ''hsetup'' is set to 0 from the failure, however, using the debugger messages are still sent to the dialog function. I don''t know what the messages mean (they are just numbers) or how many are sent. I have this problem only in Visual C++ 6.0 introductory version. There is no problem with the WATCOM compiler. The dialog appears as it is supposed to. However, I can''t use the WATCOM compiler with Direct X. Damned if you do damned if you don''t. Been locked on this problem since yesterday noon. Would love to solve it so I could get back to programming again!!! Thanks...a dead Brian Brian Reinhold

Bless you anonymous, it worked. I do not understand why, I did not need to do that before in the Watcom compiler. Other routines that use dialog boxes didn''t use them either.

All I have is a list box and two buttons. But maybe microsoft has put more things in there than I know with its dialog editor.

I''ve been fighting with this for 24 hours now!

Now all I need to do is understand why I had to do this in this case.
