Maybe something is happening in the InitApplication method.

I personally put splash screens and login screen in InitInstance and it
comes up before anything else.

BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
    CSplashDlg Splash;
    Splash.Create(CSplashDlg::IDD,NULL);
    Splash.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

    InitCommonControls();

    CWinApp::InitInstance();

    CLoginDialog Login;
    if (Login.DoModal() != IDOK)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }

    .....
}

Ali
Tried that too ,but could not show up the dialog before the main
window.
What should be done.
There are 3 windows actually
1. 3rd party diaolg box
2.My dialog box
3. The main window
It will be okay even if I could show the my dialog box first and then
the other 2 windows.
Any guesses please

Why don't you do your login dialog before you initialize the third party
control? (put your login code higher up in InitInstance)

Hi I am using 3rd party SomeABC tools.
I want to show a login dialog box before the main SDI app

(CFormView).

After I placed the code in initInstance and called before creating the
Template

The third part diaolg box is getting popped up and over that I am able
to see a part of my dialog box.
How to hide the 3rd party dialog box and show my dialog box and then
show the main application window .
Please guide.

//int i = AfxMessageBox(_TEXT("HEllo"),MB_OK,0);

CLoginDlg login;
if(login.DoModal() ==IDOK )
{
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();

}
// call DragAcceptFiles only if there's a suffix
// In an SDI app, this should occur after ProcessShellCommand
return TRUE;
}
