Dim a as CDialog

No, I'm afraid you can't.

MFC and VB were two different approaches to the same problem, vis. hiding the complexity of windows application development. The strategies they took are very different and I'm afraid you can't mix and match them.

Then how can i use Dialogs in VB
just like in VC?

[cksiow]

Dialogs in VC is almost same as Form in VB. if you set the borderstyle to fixed dialog, it looks almost the same as VC dialog.

.DoModal = .Show vbModal

.Create(xxxx = Load xxxx

.ShowWindow = .Show Modeless

I know that VC can create MFC DLL, so if you wrap all function that you need in MFC DLL function, okay like this

WINAPI DisplayDialog
{
.....
..... //use some MFC to create dialog & display it
}

VB might be able to use it. I haven't tried it, so if you plan to try, let me know if it can be done.
