            Intentional or not intentional, it simply irritates the majority of the 'grown-up' population. I am not sending an SMS to an old peer of mine, I'm answering a query on an programming board, that hundreds of professionals from around the world read every day. So, I would be very careful on how I present myself here. This is off-topic and I won't discuss further on this.

                    appl is getting crashed and control is going into Setwindowtext void CWnd::SetWindowText(LPCTSTR lpszString) { ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); if (m_pCtrlSite == NULL) ::SetWindowText(m_hWnd, lpszString); else m_pCtrlSite->SetWindowText(lpszString); } m_hwnd is showing as NULL

                      So I think your problem is of hwnd ptr2.

                          Are you wanting to set the window text of the 3rd dialog dynamically? In that case, you could pass it as a parameter to the constructor of the 3rd dialog class and have a string member variable initialized with that value and then call SetWindowText() in InitDialog(). That sounds viable?
