Dialog Displays Differently

Are you using MFC?

Yes.

Ok, so how are you instantiating and creating the "login" dialog?

I create an instantiation of CLogin clog. This creates the login dialog which has text boxes for holding the UserID and PIN values. There are buttons to select the entry for the UserId and PIN and this in turn calls the Keypad dialog. When the user enters the UserID and PIN numbers, they are placed in the text boxes (one at a time).

Do you then call
Create(),CreateIndirect(), orInitModalIndirect()?"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

I don't call any of these, David. And none of these are called for Keypad as well.

I guess I've failed to understand the problem. What is meant by "user design?"

I guess that was a poor choice of wording on my part. Almost all the dialogs have been created from a template. So I guess the proper terminology would be "owner drawn".

Ok, so what is an "owner drawn" dialog, and how does it differ from a non-owner drawn dialog?

In order to explain that, I would have to enter the code for the module that from which just about all the other dialogs are derived. That would be a couple of pages of code that I doubt anyone would want me to paste on the Forum. Here's just a small example of what I'm referring to:
const UINT CIosDialog::BTN_ID[CIosDialog::NUM_BUTTONS] = { IDC_BN_0, IDC_BN_1, IDC_BN_2, IDC_BN_3, IDC_BN_4, IDC_BN_5, IDC_BN_6, IDC_BN_7, IDC_BN_8, IDC_BN_9, IDC_BN_10, IDC_BN_11, IDC_BN_12, IDC_BN_13, IDC_BN_14, IDC_BN_15, IDC_BN_16, IDC_BN_17, IDC_BN_18, IDC_BN_19, IDC_BN_20, IDC_BN_21, IDC_BN_22, IDC_BN_23, IDC_BN_24, IDC_BN_25, IDC_BN_26, IDC_BN_27, IDC_BN_28, IDC_BN_29, IDC_BN_30, IDC_BN_31, IDC_BN_32, IDC_BN_33, IDC_BN_34, IDC_BN_35, IDC_BN_36, IDC_BN_37, IDC_BN_38, IDC_BN_39, IDC_BN_40, IDC_BN_41, IDC_BN_42, IDC_BN_43, IDC_BN_44, IDC_BN_45, IDC_BN_46, IDC_BN_47, IDC_BN_48, IDC_BN_49, IDC_BN_50, IDC_BN_51, IDC_BN_52, IDC_BN_53, IDC_BN_54, IDC_BN_55, IDC_BN_56, IDC_BN_57, IDC_BN_58, IDC_BN_59, IDC_BN_60, IDC_BN_61, IDC_BN_62, IDC_BN_63, IDC_BN_64, IDC_BN_65, IDC_BN_66, IDC_BN_67, IDC_BN_68, IDC_BN_69 };The same is done for labels, text ids, etc. Then for example in another file:CEnvironmentControl::BTN_INFO_STRUCT CEnvironmentControl::btnInfo[] = { //******************* // Atmospheric control //******************* {true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, "B A R O P R E S S U R E\n-->\n", BaroPressure, CStringType, &baroPressureString,NULL,"", 0}, //&trainerData.baroPresString, NULL, "", 0}, {true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, "A I R P O R T T E M P\n-->\n", AirportTemp, FloatType, &trainerData.envInfo.CURRENT_AIRPORT_TEMP, NULL, " \272 C", 0}, {true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, "S U R F A C E W I N D S\n-->\n", SurfaceWinds, CStringType, &envData.surfaceWindsString, NULL, "", 0}, {true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, "A L O F T W I N D S\n( 8000' MIN ALTITUDE )\n-->\n", AloftWinds, CStringType, &envData.aloftWindsString, NULL, "", 0}, {true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, "W I N D G U S T S\n-->\n", WindGusts, FloatType, &envData.info.GUSTS, NULL, " kts", 0}, {true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, "T U R B U L E N C E\n-->\n", Turbulence, IntegerType, & -

OnInitDialog()or some other initialization function? The problem, then, is that they do not show up the first time the dialog is rendered but do show up each time thereafter.

Yes, these controls are added in the OnInitDialog(). It is not these other dialogs that have a problem with displaying properly. That only occurs with the Keypad dialog, and the Keypad dialog is not created (derived) from the IosDialog. It is derived from the common CDialog. The class definition is shown below:
