Joan's answer is correct... but I would add that the MFC proper way of doing this is through SendMessage() or PostMessage() and an event handler in the receiving dialog (the event handler would manage the internal controls).

You should choose a method to send data between dialogs.

You can put some public functions in each dialog that should receive information in order to call them from the original one and then react in the destiny dialogs.

You can also send messages to the different dialogs with a structure with data...

In order to show or hide controls you can use the function ShowWindow with SW_HIDE or SW_SHOW;
