Using custom controls in dialogs.....

Dear all
I have a dialog in a MFC DLL VC++ 5.0 application. I've added a custom control(using the Controls toolbar) over the dialog box and given a class name in the 'Class' section of the properties of the custom control.

I invoke the dialog from a menu function, in normal way as:

CxyDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

But at runtime when the menu option is clicked the dialog is not displayed.

Can anyone please give me some solution for this?

Thanx

It could be that there is a problem with creating the child control... is the custom control an OCX?? Is it properly registered???

What is the name of the custom control u r using

DKostov

Call

void AfxEnableControlContainer( )

in your application object's InitInstance function to enable support for containment of OLE controls.

Well the control is not an OCX. It is a object of a class which is converted to a WNDCLASS object and registered using AfxRegisterClass function so that it can be used as a custom control.
It seems that the problem might lie with this function and the class is not getting properly registered.
So how to check it?
I've done AfxEnableControlContainer(.
