MFC App with main window as modeless dialog?

Try to remove the following line: m_pMainWnd = dlg.

You need to implement your own endless loop. Of course you don't want to stop the UI thread to be responsive so you need to capture and dispatch message inside this loop. Try adding this after ShowWindow.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
