  BOOL CreateIndirect( HANDLE hDialogTemplate );
 
  Parameter         Description
 
  <hDialogTemplate> Contains a resource handle to global memory containing
                    a dialog-box resource template. The template data
                    structure is of type DLGTEMPLATE, which identifies the
                    block of memory used as a dialog-box template.
 
  Remarks
 
  This member function uses a dialog resource constructed in memory to
  initialize a modal dialog object. The resource has the form of a
  DLGTEMPLATE structure. For more information on this structure, see the
  Windows Software Development Kit documentation.
 
  To create a modal dialog indirectly, first create a DLGTEMPLATE
  structure in memory and retain a HANDLE to it. Then call the
  CModalDialog constructor to construct the dialog object. In this case,
  pass NULL for the first parameter to the constructor. Next, call
  CreateIndirect to store your handle to the in-memory dialog template.
  The Windows dialog is created and displayed later, when the ◄DoModal►
  member function runs.
 
  Return Value
 
  TRUE if the dialog object was created and initialized successfully;
  otherwise FALSE.
