Below are the lines at dlgcore.cpp where I am getting the debug assertion at. if (!_AfxCheckDialogTemplate(lpszTemplateName, FALSE)) { ASSERT(FALSE); // invalid dialog template name I am using a seperate dll for this project (to load it from the main project of the solution.) and "use mfc in a static lubrary" option. Please help me. Thanks. visual-c++ mfc visual-c++-2008 share|improve this question edited Jun 21 '12 at 11:01 asked Jun 21 '12 at 10:55 gishara 37211233 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted Usually that error happens when MFC can't find your dialog in the resources. Your project sounds a little weird because it sounds as if you are creating MFC libraries and linking them and the app statically? Before your call to controlpoints->Create(), call AfxSetResourceHandle() with the HINSTANCE of the DLL that contains the dialog resource. You may want to reset it back to the original state after the call if you start getting weird resource related fails. share|improve this answer answered Jun 21 '12 at 17:44 Joe Willcoxson 2,517614 Thanks Joe.

either complete the wizard or close it and call it again, when it comes to loading a new dialog template the template it uses is invalid and causes an assertion error. The following ERROR: Cannot find dialog template with IDD 0x0065. comes back for the TRACE message. // dialog template must exist and be invisible with WS_CHILD set is a comment that defines why I'm getting the error It appears to happen on the OnCreate method of CMDIChildWnd. Can anyone give me a few pointers as to why I might be experience this? Thanks!

Newcome#3 / 3 Dialog Template invalid Well, that's pretty suggestive that the dialog 0x0065 (decimal 101) isn't present. First, check resource.h to see if you have a symbol 101, e.g., #define IDD_MYDIALOG 101 if you do, make sure that you have a dialog of that same ID, IDD_MYDIALOG DIALOG .... in your .rc file. That's the first step. If these are all true, the message may be misleading; it may indicate that there is a problem with dialog 101. This usually is a control, either a custom-defined window class or an ActiveX control, that is not available (is it properly registered?). There's a dialog option under the Properties, "More Styles" tab, option "No fail create", which says that even if a control is missing it will create the dialog. If the above check shows you really have dialog box 101, enable this style for it, and see what control is missing. Oh yes, and before you start any of this, do a "rebuild all". Particularly if you've ever hand-edited resourc
Chen - MSFTNovember 29, 20132 0 0 0 One of the purposes of my dialog manager series was to help people diagnose problems with their dialog boxes. But https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20131129-00/?p=2523 since I embedded the tips inside the series body, it's hard for people to find them, and I still end up answering the same questions over and over. So here it is in a separate article that hopefully people can find. Why your call to DialogBox or CreateDialog is failing. This also goes for CDialog::
