I’ve seen this question asked in forums quite often where someone complains that his (or her) dialogs do not show up in the taskbar when visible. While I wouldn’t recommend that you do this (because child dialogs really shouldn’t be showing up in the taskbar), essentially all you need to do is to add WS_EX_APPWINDOW to the dialog’s extended styles for getting it to show up in the taskbar when visible.
Sample code :-
BOOL CAboutDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_APPWINDOW);
return TRUE;
}
It might be a good idea to start a FAQ page separately on each topic it may be useful at a later date.
Hey Kannan
Thanks for the suggestion 🙂 I have been meaning to split up my posts into various categories. Just didn’t get around to doing that so far 🙂

HI Nish,
I have been reading your website since one month,it’s awsome and the work you have done crosses the limits of quality.
I must congratulate for this.

Till now i have done lot of code in Socket programming. Please let me know the other areas in VC.net(MFC) where i should work more for future perspective
