I also posted this on microsoft.public.vstudio.development

Will properly cross-post next time. I don't use newsgroups a lot and am
just getting the hang of this Xnews reader.

I am an embedded programmer that is new to Windows programming. So, that
makes me a newbie to Windows (other than a little maintenance here and
there).

I have created a simple application in VS2005. It is a dialog app (not
SDI or MDI). In the application code a CDialog is created; this was put
there by VS2005 code generation.

In the application code a CDialog is created (as mentioned previously).
Then I added a property sheet from the CDialog class.
Then I added property pages from the CPropertySheet class.
When I try to put up an AfxMessageBox or MessageBox, the app. hangs.

I set all dialogs and sheets as "'child" in the dialog editor.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    By default, from the VS project wizard, the "Close button" which
    is the 'X' in the upper-right corner of the dialog does not work
    with the IDCANCEL button disabled. To fix it, WM_ON_CLOSE() was
    added to the message map for this file. Also, the overridden
    funcion OnClose() had to be created. Now the 'X' calls OnClose()
    in this cpp file. JAC
