I need to access to the CDialog main class window handle in the OnInit
function.

I've tried just accessing m_hWnd. Doesnt work.

Also tried, HWND myHwnd=AfxGetMainWnd()->GetSafeHwnd();

Reason is i need a CWnd *; so i can call
SetWindowPos(&pWnd->wndTopMost,x,....); to change the Z-order of a
CbitmapButton.

Any help or ideas is appreciated.

If by OnInit you mean OnInitDialog I suspect that you are trying to
access m_hWnd before calling CDialog::OnInitDialog().

Calling the base class is critical and creates the needed windows objects.

Yes im trying to do this in,

BOOL MyDiagClassDlg::OnInitDialog(){
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();

       //other initializations

       CBitmapButton mybtn;
       mybtn.create(...........);
       //heres where i want to call
      mybtn.SetWindowPos(.....);

}

I'm not sure if your last sentence was a statement or instructions.
I've tried just about every combination i can think of to get m_hWnd of the
dialog window. Could you please elaborate?

Thanks.
