Create a timer in the OnInitDialog() handler. In the OnTimer() handler, enable the OK button and kill the timer. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

OnInitDialog() :
((CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDOK))->EnableWindow(FALSE);
SetTimer(100 /* ID=100, for example */, 8000 /* in milliseconds */, NULL /* callback function */);
//...

OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) :
if (nIDEvent == 100) {
((CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDOK))->EnableWindow(TRUE);
KillTimer(100);
}
