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 />.
To show you a bit easier

code:

if(sMenuId == "preferences"){
if (WndPref){
Interop.Call('user32', 'SetForegroundWindow', WndPref.Handle);
}else{
WndPref = LoadChildWindows(MsgPlus.CreateWnd("ss4_gui.xml", "WndPref"));
}
}
}
function LoadChildWindows(Wnd){
/*
Load Child Windows
*/
WndGeneral = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(Wnd, "ss4_gui.xml", "WndGeneral", 153, 40, true);
WndCurrentWnd = WndGeneral;
/*
Click Default General Button
*/
Wnd.SendControlMessage('RadGeneral', 256 , 32, 0);
Wnd.SendControlMessage('RadGeneral', 257 , 32, 0);
return Wnd;
}
I hope this makes a bit more sense on how to do it.
