The point of the CreateChildWnd is to create One window then create another inside of it instead of having to use the SetParent API. Now what you need to do is first create your WndManageFiles which has the <DialogTmpl /> Template then you create your WndText window which has the <ChildTmpl />.

I hope this makes a bit more sense on how to do it.

In the first post of the thread

Will test now.

Here is an example of how to do it.

Thank you for the demonstration! I guess it will help the people that use the forums search function too (are there any? )

I think I misunderstood what a WindowChild actually was ^^ Still good to know though If I ever need it.
