The frame around the dialog box.Protected:
BOOL CreateIndirect( const BYTE FAR* lpDialogTemplate, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL);
lpDialogTemplate
Points to a global memory object that contains a dialog-box template used to create the dialog box. An application must build the dialog-box template according to the guidelines outlined in the description of the application-defined DLGTEMPLATE data structure.
pParentWnd
Points to the dialog object's parent window object (of type CWnd). If it is NULL, the dialog object's parent window is set to the main application window, as shown in the following code:
if( pParentWnd == NULL )
pParentWnd = AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;
Creates a modeless dialog box from a dialog-box template in memory. CreateIndirect is protected.
Before the dialog box is displayed, Windows sends the WM_INITDIALOG message to the dialog box. If the dialog box has the DS_SETFONT style, Windows also sends the WM_SETFONT message before the control windows are created. You can override the OnInitDialog and OnSetFont member functions to provide special handling of these messages.
The CreateIndirect member function returns immediately after it creates the dialog box.
Use the WS_VISIBLE style in the dialog-box template if the dialog box should appear in the parent window upon creation. You can also specify other dialog styles in the template as explained in the Windows Software Development Kit documentation. These include styles that specify:
The frame around the dialog box.
Whether the dialog window is a pop-up or child window.
Whether the dialog box has a border or a Control menu.
How controls are to be grouped and the tabbing order between them.
Use the CWnd::DestroyWindow function to destroy a dialog box created by the CreateIndirect function.
A dialog box can contain up to 255 controls.
TRUE if the dialog was created and initialized successfully; otherwise FALSE.
