Child

[rodderswank]

invoke a messagebox or a dialog with no task bar sys menu so its just show up as a child window with no process info. How can this be done?

It canot be done with a Message Box but it can be done with a dialog that you create yourself. The dialog has to be made a child window of its parent to work this way.

how can u make it a child of its parent it just so nothing comes up on the taskbar when a button is pressed and the new dialog comes into focus. I have tried WS_CHILD on the sencond dialogs property but after doing that it doesnt open.

Show us the faulty code - that way we can tell you exactly what is wrong, instead of guessing. There could be half a dozen reasons why your second window is not opening.
