Which message maps/function should I use to create a dialog/window automatically when apps starts up

Can anybody provide me a source code in VC++5.0, which will create a MDI window and a dialog box automatically when the application starts up. I have some problem in doing that. I could'n figure out in what function/message map I can write that piece of code, wherever I do that, the window always getting covered by View window in one way or the other. Any help or clue is most welcome.

Do following:
Create new project "sam", choose MDI in Step 1. Click finish
Create Dialod you want to display when app start.
In samApp class
Include "Dialog.h"
In InitInstance()
{
CDialog *dlg = new CDialog();
dlg->Create(CDialog::IDD);
dlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
// when you want show MDI call dlg->DestroyWindow();
}

If you use DoModal instead of ShowWindow it will insure your dialog will stay on top of your main window.

Sorry. But you use ShowWindow that mean you use Modalless, MDI continue work while the Dialog show. Use DoModal the program will wait untill Dialog hide to continue.

Not to mention that

BOOL CTestApp::InitInstance()
{
AfxEnableControlContainer();

CDtest dlg; //add this line
dlg.DoModal();//and this line



works as well
