Also, where are you calling this from? It may not work if you are calling
from a worker thread.

You could try creating the dialog when you need it on the stack rather than
as a pointer and see if that helps as well.

I have a C++ application (dialog based) that I imported into VS 2005. When
I
run in debug mode, everything works fine. When I try to run it in release
mode, things go badly.

The main app calls opens a dialog box. In release mode, the constructor
works fine, the subsequent

pMyApp->MyInitDialog->DoModal() bombs

Initially, I simply had

MyInitDialog:: OnInitDialog()

{

:: AfxMessageBox(" Hi From InitDialog OnInitDialog()", NULL, NULL);

CDialog:: OnInitDialog();

...

}

The message box above never appeared.

I added a method PreInitDialog()

MyInitDialog:: PreInitDialog()

{

::AfxMessageBox("Hi from PreInitDialog()", NULL, NULL);

return;

}

which similarly never shows up, the program just crashes at the DoModal()
call at the app level.

Are there any calls implicit in the DoModal() method that I should be
looking at?

Any other suggestions?
