Its a long code, anyone has a solution for this by the way? any helps is appreciated.

>> pszFileText = LPSTR(GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwFileSize + 1));

typecast is wrong: pszFileText = (LPSTR)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwFileSize + 1); Add this to the top of the *.rc file #include <winuser.h> You have to add comctl32.lib to the list of libraries. For your compiler it probably has *.a extension instead of *.lib.

What dialog box -- there are no buttons or menu item to do that.
