TNX for the answer, I used your advice as follow and it works:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "TestGUI.h"

DWORD WINAPI ModelessThreadFunc(LPVOID)
{
    TestGUI gui;
    gui.Create(TestGUI::IDD);
    gui.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

    HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, L"CloseModelessDialog");

    MSG msg;
    while(WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, 0) != WAIT_OBJECT_0)
    {
        while(::GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
        {
            ::TranslateMessage(&msg);
            ::DispatchMessage(&msg);
        }
    }

    // event cleanup
    CloseHandle(hEvent);

    return 0;
}

void main()
{
    // initialize MFC
    AfxWinInit(GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, GetCommandLine(), SW_SHOW);

    // create thread for the modeless dialog
    CreateThread(NULL, 0, ModelessThreadFunc, NULL, 0, NULL);

    // wait for the modeless dialog to close itself
    HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, L"CloseModelessDialog");
    while(WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, 0) != WAIT_OBJECT_0)
    {
        // do other job
    }

    // event cleanup
    CloseHandle(hEvent);
}
