Re: Second dialog box with a progress control...

One way to do this is to open a "modeless" dialog box with the progress
control in OnInitDialog() in your first dialog before you do the loop that
takes the time. Since you'll have a window handle to that modeless dialog
you can then send messages to it from either a loop in the OnInitDialog() or
the function that is called to collect the data. Another way would be just
to pass around a pointer to the dialog object and just update it
periodically with something like:

pDlg->UpdateProgressBar(nPercentDone);

One key is to make the progress dialog modeless so it doesn't stop the
initial one from updating when you call DoModal().
