Is there a way to use a resource compiler generated dialog box with an explicit message processing loop? Using "DialogBoxParam" doesn't allow me to utilize time intervals in between times that messages are sent to a dialog box. Thanks for any information!
Try a modeless dialog created with CreateDialogParam. You can use the same template resource, but unlike a modal dialog, for a modeless dialog to be visible your template must specify the WS_VISIBLE style.
You can also have a look on the DIALOGEX at msdn.Changing styles and extended styles can made the dialog box act very near as a window.Need some search and tests.
