Dynamic Dialog Box Creation 
 
 
SUMMARY 
======= 
 
The DYNDLG sample shows how to create the dialog box template at run time.  
Usually, an application defines a dialog box template in an RC or DLG file,  
then creates a dialog box at run time from the template. However, it is  
possible to create the dialog box template at run time.  
 
MORE INFORMATION 
================ 
 
The Win32 dialog box template is conceptually similar to the Windows 3.1  
version, but is different enough to require some porting work. For example,  
strings are now stored in Unicode. The dialog box template format is  
documented in the help file included with the dialog box editor. 
 
Run-time dependency: 
 
One of the dialog boxes uses a custom control which is expected to be  
defined in the spincube.dll file. The DYNDLG sample tries to load this DLL  
at run time from the following location:  
 
    "..\spincube\spincube.dll" 
 
This path can be easily changed, and the sample recompiled. SPINCUBE is  
another sample distributed in the Win32 SDK.
