hello,<br />
<br />
I am having a hard time designing a simple dialog box as a resource and then displaying it modally with the DialogBox() call. Do I have to use LoadResource, FindResource and LockResource to display this? Or should I just be able to design it in the resource editor and simply call DialogBox() to see it; I currently use the latter but I get error code 1812 when I make the call. If it is more complicated than this i would appreciate the steps involved in creating this dialog.<br />
<br />
Thank you.
