So am I to assume that I should not have any such issues, as I am using a
subsequent release of VS?
Note that phenomena such as having too many windows, running out of GDI
space, etc. can
result in some of the problems you are seeing. So key here is to
replicate the
environment. I (and others) can do
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
dlg.DoModal();
without problem, so if it is failing for you, there is something else
wrong. But since it
is impossible to intuit what your entire environment must be like, it is
hard to do more
than guess.
This gives me my first insight. I had been thinking in terms of something
wrong with my application directly, rather than an environmental issue. I
took a detour to run another app that I built last week, which uses the
same
code. While it used to operate just fine, it now exhibits the same
inability
to DoModal().
