To make a non-modal or other dialog:
Add Resource - Dialog
Change the IDD and the title of the dialog
Set Tool Window to True for non-modal
Right click it, Add Class
Change base to CDialog
Remove DECLARE_DYNAMIC from header and IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC from .cpp
Remove afxdialogex.h include
Change CDialog to CBaseDlg in .h and .cpp

Under DoDataExchange add:
  virtual BOOL OnInitDialog();
  virtual void OnOK();
  virtual void OnCancel();
And for non-modal:
  virtual void PostNcDestroy();
  virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg);
The latter is needed if there is any edit box

Also add a CloseWindow() as public if it is necessary to close the window externally
It can call OnOK, OnCancel, or DestroyWindow as needed.

In nonmodal, add to construction:
  mNonModal = true;

---------------------
BOOL CHoleFinder::OnInitDialog()
{
  CBaseDlg::OnInitDialog();

  SetDefID(45678);    // Disable OK from being default button for non-modal
  return TRUE;
}

void CHoleFinder::OnOK()
{
  OnCancel();
}

// Inform managing module of closing, or store placement and NULL out pointer
// right here
void CHoleFinder::OnCancel()
{
  //mWinApp->GetScreenShotPlacement();
  //mWinApp->mScreenShotDialog = NULL;
  DestroyWindow();
}

void CHoleFinder::PostNcDestroy()
{
  delete this;
  CDialog::PostNcDestroy();
}

BOOL CHoleFinder::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
  if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN)
    SetFocus();
  return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
----------------------
Add class pointer and placement to managing module and functions to open
and get placement
Be sure to set the right IDD_ in the Create call.

Change font to Microsoft Sans Serif (it will change Use System font to False)

NOn-modal dialogs have a problem with double validation of edit fields and you
need to use BaseDlg MinMaxInt and MinMaxFloat functions with the ID of the
field and a descriptor text.
  MinMaxFloat(IDC_EDIT_ACS_BEAM_SHIFT, m_fBeamShift, -10.f, 10.f,
    "Beam shift for centering");
