Instead of doing a CreateWindow call do a CreateDialog call, This create
the Dialog box as the main window.

N.B.
Define your template in the resource file as normal but give it a CLASS,
You then have to Register that class and then call 
CreateDialog (hInst, <dialog template name>, 0, NULL) ;

You can define the icon, menu, window proc for the class just as you 
do for a normal window. You must set cbWndExtra to DLGWINDOWEXTRA in your
class structure.

If you get stuck I can email some sample code to help you out
