Embedding a standard dialog for selecting the com / serial port s- ettings into a property page.

Hi all,

I used the following code to generate a standard dialog for selecting the
com / serial port settings.

// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
char device_name =“Com1”; //title for dialog not used to get handle
HWND parent_window_handle = ::GetForegroundWindow();

BOOL return_value = FALSE;
BYTE * buffer = reinterpret_cast< BYTE * >( NULL );
unsigned long m_ErrorCode;
try
{
buffer = new BYTE[8192]; // insanely large buffer
}
catch( … )
{
buffer = reinterpret_cast< BYTE * >( NULL );
}

if ( buffer == NULL )
{
return; //( FALSE );
}

memset(buffer,8192,0);

LPCOMMCONFIG communications_configuration_p = reinterpret_cast<
LPCOMMCONFIG >( buffer );

communications_configuration_p->dwSize = 8192;
communications_configuration_p->dcb.DCBlength = sizeof( DCB );

return_value = ::CommConfigDialog( device_name, parent_window_handle,
reinterpret_cast< LPCOMMCONFIG >( buffer ) );

if ( return_value == FALSE )
{
m_ErrorCode = ::GetLastError();
//WFCTRACEERROR( m_ErrorCode );
delete buffer;
buffer = reinterpret_cast< BYTE * >( NULL );
return; //( FALSE );
}
delete buffer;

This code is called from a property page.
My question is how do I make the dialog appear to be imbedded in the
property page rather than appearing as a popup.

thanks
