    I am getting Debug Assertion failure for DoModal() function.

    Well that should give you a clue; look at the details of the assertion and try to figure out why it is getting thrown, and which parameter in your dialog may be causing the problem.

    Can u please clear ...

    I mean, check the positioning of all your dialog items in memory to ensure that they are correctly aligned, before you call DoModal(); for further information see here[^].

              Please could you put <pre></pre> tags around your code so that it is readable (just edit your message and use the code block button). Also use the Preview button before you post to make sure it is all formatted correctly. Your code looks like: int MFC::Dialog::DoModal() { int cWC = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, m_strCaption, -1, NULL, 0); int szBoxLen = cWC + 1; WCHAR *szBoxCaption = new WCHAR[szBoxLen]; // ... it should look like:
