Once your new project is open, select Insert Resource from the Developer Studio Menu.

Create a new dialog resource
Right-click on the title bar of the newly-created dialog box and select Properties to change the name of the dialog box and its caption.
Add the necessary controls to your dialog box. Remember to right-click each control after you have added it and use the Properties choice to change the Caption (for static text boxes) or the ID for the control (for edit boxes).
Once you have finished adding the desired controls, close the dialog box edit window.

Now you need to connect the dialog box that was created in the previous step to a class in your C++ program.

Click the "action" arrow on the wizard bar (right next to the "magic wand").
Select New Class
Make sure the class type is set to MFC, then type in the name for the new dialog class you want to define (for example, CMyDialog); then select CDialog as the Base Class; make sure that the dialog identifier for the dialog resource you just created is selected in the Dialog ID blank.
Because you are relying on the predefined handlers for the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons, you do not need to add any new handlers at this time
To map the edit fields in your dialog box to member attributes/fields in the class that you are creating you need to View the ClassWizard
Once in the Class Wizard, select the Member Variables tab; select the edit box control that you want to link to a member variable and click Add Variable
Fill in the blanks on the Add Member Variable dialog box that pops up by specifying the name for the attribute, the Category should be Value, and select the appropriate Variable Type then hit OK
If you want to have validation performed, fill in the validation blanks at the bottom of the Class Wizard and then hit OK. You may need to repeat the preceding step for each edit box if your dialog box contains more than one data entry blank.

Now you need to declare an instance of your class and set up a message handler that will open the dialog box when the user selects a menu choice.

Click on the resource tab to view the resources for your application.
Double click on the main menu resource (probably named IDR_MAINFRAME by the AppWizard).
Add your new menu choice that you would be selected by the user to view the dialog box you just created. Be sure to remember the ID that you assign to that menu choice.
Open your application's main (.cpp) file.
On the Wizard bar, click the "action" arrow and select Add Windows Message Handler.
In the "Class or object to handle" box, select the message ID that you just created for the menu choice.
In the "New Windows messages to handle" box, select COMMAND; then click Add and Edit.
When prompted to name the member function, type in the name you wish to create for the function that will be called when the user selects the menu choice.

Replace the TODO comment with some variation of the following code snippet:

           CMyDialog mydialog;
           // Initialize dialog data
           mydialog.membervariable1 = MyPermanentVariable1;
           mydialog.membervariable2 = MyPermanentVariable2;

           // Invoke the dialog box
           if (mydialog.DoModal() == IDOK)
           {
               // retrieve the dialog data
               MyPermanentVariable1 = mydialog.membervariable1;
               MyPermanentVariable1 = mydialog.membervariable1;
           }

Scroll to the top of ScribbleDoc.cpp and add the following #include statement:
#include "MyDialog.h"
Save your project to disk.
