The DialogBoxParam function creates a modal dialog box from a dialog box template resource. Before displaying the dialog box, the function passes an application-defined value to the dialog box procedure as the lParam parameter of the WM_INITDIALOG message. An application can use this value to initialize dialog box controls.
int DialogBoxParam(
HINSTANCE hInstance, // handle to application instance
LPCTSTR lpTemplateName, // identifies dialog box template
HWND hWndParent, // handle to owner window
DLGPROC lpDialogFunc, // pointer to dialog box procedure
LPARAM dwInitParam // initialization value
);
