My mistake, I missed to remember that dialogboxes are not (Windows) subclassed so there is no a valid ::nOldProc.

We may need to subclass the dialog calling Method ::Link(). But we need to find the right place to call it.

FWH currently does not implement double buffer painting in dialogboxes, though we could easily implement it. Basically all is needed is to redefine the Method Paint()
