Copying a control to another dialog?

[wookies]

This is what I am attempting to accomplish, but I don't have enough API know-how to do it, if it's even possible. I have a program (that I did not make) that has a text box that is not a standard control (handles html, but it isn't standard, it has some characteristics that I wouldn't be able to accurately reproduce) - I want to hide the original dialog containing this control (this I can do), but I want to make a new dialog which has a "copy" of this control in it, and I want to be able to update the copy when the program updates the original, which is now hidden. I may not have been very clear, but hopefully it is clear enough. If not, I can probably figure out how to explain it better.

You can import the resource file for that dialog in your new dialog based application and copy the dialog resource in your own application. That's what I think you need to do.

Thank you for your reply. However, my problem is that this control is not in a resource dll or executable, it is defined at run time. I do not think that I can recreate this control, which is why I was trying to copy it. Thanks again
