I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "tap the message pump … check if the 'cancel' …has been pressed." You're modeless dialog box could handle this message, and in the handler you would post a message back to the app. > As a side issue in my search, I've found some examples in MDN Level 2 > discs, but they don't directly load into Visual C++ 32-bit under > WinNT, and I've tried to adapt them, but they don't work.

Yes, some samples may date back to MFC 1.0 which shipped with C/C++ 7.0, that used the MSDOS version of the Workbench. I would imagine most of these samples contains a readme.txt/abstract which may describe the versions. However, I think the .MAK file will tell you more.
