Hai, I tried with ur help. But my problem still remains. If main window is successfully loaded then it is possible to show any mesagebox. But the main window Domodal() failed then it is not possible to show a MessageBox. The code snip running, but windows are not visible Thanks Anish

Whenever I've had DoModal() return -1 it was due to the dialog using a control whose window class wasn't registered yet. If you're running an older OS and are using any Win 95 common controls, check that you're calling InitCommonControls() in your init code. --Mike-- LINKS~!
