Environment : W95, VC++ 4.0, MFC,FTSRCH

1) What i am trying to do is give user the same PropertySheet that WINHELP 
give for full search, But all i find on PropertyPage is how you create a 
Page from a Template resource. But the Window for Full Search is created in 
the FTSRCH.DLL
HWND OpenDialog(HSEARCHER,HWND hParent) and i dind't figure out how to add 
it to a CPropertySheet. For now i'am just loading a CDialog that create the 
Child Dialog and resize to handle the size of the child and Buttons 
(Display and Cancel).

  I'm not familiar with FTSRCH and so I'm not entirely sure I 
understand the question, but I can think of three things to try which 
might help.

  Typically, there are two ways to link an MFC object to a Windows 
object.  The more usual one is to construct the MFC object, and call 
it's Create() method to create the corresponding Windows object.
  Another approach, though, is to call the Attach() method to bind an 
MFC object to a Windows object that already exists.  Perhaps you can 
create the dialog, hide and disable it, and Attach() it to a 
CPropertyPage-derived object which you can then insert in your 
property sheet?

  A second possibility is to take a look at the PROPSHEETPAGE 
structure (CPropertyPage::m_psp), and see if you can set its elements 
to refer to the FTSRCH dialog.  This is less likely to work, but it 
might....

  A third possibility is to insert a page in your sheet with a blank 
template (just a caption, if you use that method to set the tab 
text).  In its OnSetActive() method, bring up the FTSRCH dialog as a 
child of the page, and dismiss (or at least hide) it in 
OnKillActive().  You may be able to get the visual effect you want, 
even if the dialog is not "really" a page in its own right.
