<div>
preCreateWindow is the function which let you change the window style before it created .<br />
but the dialog 's style is defined in resource .<br />
<br />
in the VC Online help ,it not refer to &nbsp;changing the style of dialog by preCreateWindow .<br />
<br />
if you want to change the style of dialog ,you can call ModifyStyle or ModifyStyleEx in OnInitDialog<br />
<br />
you can't do &quot;change the lpszClass field of the CREATESTRUCT&quot;<br />
if you change it ,it will not be a dialog.<br />
<br />
i guess you want to create a new window with the looking defined in the resource.<br />
<br />
so you can derive the class from CFormView ,CDialogBar, they can be the child window.<br />
<br />
