I would suggest you forget about the TCP stuff until you have mastered the text viewer and scrolling. Whether you use simple Win32 or MFC this can be quite a challenge and TCP would only complicate matters. Start with a view window and add the scroll features then add a mechanism to send some lines of text, say up to 100 and see that your scrolling is working. Then when you have all those features under control you can start to add the more complex pieces of the TCP feed.

Hi Alan! I suggest an alternative approach without multi threading to get up and running quickly:
1) create a new MFC project and add a CListBox control: Using the CListBox control[^], this comes with a working example dialog project.
2) Add a TCP client socket such as CAsyncSocket to your dialog: Socket Programming with MFC (Part 1)[^], this will also explain which initialisation is needed in your application.
3) Add a button to your dialog so you can connect/disconnect to a server.
The client will tell you in its OnReceive()[^] handler when more data is available, you can add this to the listbox with AddString()[^] and scroll listbox with SendMessage(WM_VSCROLL, SB_BOTTOM, NULL). There are many ways to communicate between socket and GUI, for starters you could give the socket object a pointer to your dialog. For example with a method OnReceiveText() that you call from your socket whenever a full text line is available:
void CMyDlg::OnReceiveText(const char* szText)
{
m_listbox.AddString(szText);
m_output.SendMessage(WM_VSCROLL, SB_BOTTOM, NULL);
while(m_output.GetCount() > 10000) m_output.DeleteString(0);
}
Hope this helps

Then it's for you to do the work. Don't expect other people to do it for you.

I think you have difficulty understanding the purpose of these forums. They are here to help with technical questions, not so someone can provide you with a working solution to order. Reread the guidelines on how to ask a question.

I wonder when Chris is going to figure out that since he messed with the Soapbox, everyone has to come to the technical forums to play Whack An Idiot.

What is the parent of your dialog? The main window of your app? Try to make the desktop the parent and make sure your dialog has the "app window" style to make it appear on the taskbar.

As Code-o-mat suggested, you need to set the desktop as the parent for the Modeless dialog.
You have the parent on create itself.
CWnd* pParentWnd = GetDesktopWindow();
pMyModeless->Create( IDD_DIALOG1, pParentWnd );
