Hello!

Calling member functions in a classes constructor usually causes an assertion failure, because i think the class has not yet been initialized completely. (Probably the constructors of the base-classes like CWnd etc. have to create the window first...)

What you should do is to put your initilization code in the OnInitDialog or OnInitialUpdate message handler.

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
Alan.
