Answer 1

Modal dialogs are modal in the sense that they are shown when you enter DoModal and hidden when DoModal is left. Your dialog is already closed before you call Sleep(1000);

You should use a non-modal dialog for this purpose.

m_dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); Sleep(1000); m_dlg.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
