I need to initialize SetTimer command in the child dialog for updating values instantly in that dialog itself. The child dialog opens when a button is pressed in the first dialog. I don't even have OnInitDialog() in child dialog. What is the use of OnInitDialog?
And suppose if I am able to achieve initialising SetTimer, How can I stop the timer when I close the dialog?

What I have tried:

I tried initialising in the constructor, but I couldn't run the application.

You can add the OnInitDialog yourself to your class. However, it is not clear why you need a timer in a dialog.

This appears to be the same issue as My display is not instantly updating with the time in GUI in MFC application[^]. Please edit that question and add a proper explanation of what your problem is.
