We had a requirement to do dialogs on the fly, and had the same problem.

We raised a SR on Microsoft OnLine and got a whole bunch of demo source back
probably including the structure def you need etc. I'll have a look
at work on Monday and see if I can post a minimal amount to get you
going.

And who said OnLine was useless? :-)
