Short answer: you don't. A Dialog that is activated by a call to DoModal is a modal dialog, which is designed to prevent access to its parent window. If you want to access the main window while the popup is active then you need a modeless dialog, which acts more like another simple window.

Having said all that I am curious why you want to access your main window while the dialog is active.

For serial port Monitoring ,while monitoring the port i should work with main window

I am not sure what that has to do with showing a Dialog box. You need to understand what a Dialog is designed for. It should open for interaction with the user, to show, or collect, information and then close. It is not designed to remain open for long periods. You should look at your application's design as it may be that a Dialog is not what is needed here.

Yes ,i got the output what i expected through the solutions 3

I did suggest a modeless dialog 5 days ago.

Thank you Richard Macutchan
In addition to Richard's answer, maybe you just need your popup to be always on top, without being modal:

Inspite of doing this
serialtaskdemo s;
s.DoModal();

U can do it like
serialtaskdemo s;
s.create(IDD_SOMEID);
s.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
