I can't seem to get that to work either - I probably should learn some more assembly language!
Microsoft consider the MDI to be largely obsolete - they no longer use it in any of their products AFAIK. Although it's still notionally supported by the Win32 API, you may have more success by avoiding the use of the MDI and doing things another way.

Thank you for your advice, Richard. I shall try to use a different method instead of the MDI.
I realise now that the user most likely want to resize the dialogue box, which will probably require repositioning its contents - a task that sounds quite tedious.
