I'm trying to create a child modeless dialog of a dialog and currently I'm using these style parameters:

STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
EXSTYLE WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW

I'm not being able to transfer the control its parent dialog once i try to create its child dialog. is there anything else I'm missing in the process to make the dialog modeless?
