SUMMARY
=======

There is a sample program in the Microsoft Download Center named ISDIALOG that
demonstrates how to create a window, add controls, and use the IsDialogMessage
function to make the window act like a dialog box. This technique can be used in
cases where superclassing a dialog box is too costly or not possible.

By using a conventional window and not using the Dialog Manager, the application
is free to add or remove dialog functionality as necessary.

Center:
