Hi i am trying to get a simple dialog box to show at the begginning of a programs startup. I am currently takeing a class on MFC programming and that is how my program is being setup. The thing is I can get a basic dialog box to show up as long as I don''t modify anything but as soon as I throw in a rich edit control or static text control the program compley disregards the dialog box. The program runs but the dialog box part of the code is overlooked.

Now that''s an easy question! Just handle it the way Microsoft would handle this : It''s not a bug - it''s a feature!

Yes, Bill Gates has it out for you personally - and with his Billions, I don't know where you can hide

Seriously, RichEdit's require a dll to be loaded so they don't make good candidates for splash screen items. As for the static control - I fairly certain they don't require a call to InitCommonCtrl so it's difficult to tell where the problem lies (edit) from what you've said.

I fixed it apparently the rich edit controls dont like to be on dialog boxes but i created a regular edit control and it shows now.

Just add:

AfxInitRichEdit();

to your application initialization function and you should be able to use richedits
