Solution 1

it isnt good GUI-design. A new "task" and dialog should open in a new window. If only some options are added, they should always be visible but be grayed if not needed.

Else you can use a tabbed dialog.

Solution 2

getclientrect(&rc);
clienttoscreen(&rc);
childDlg.SetWindowPos(FromHandle(m_hWnd),rc.left+100,rc.top+100,120,120,SWP_FRAMECHANGED|SWP_SHOW

Problem seems in above lines. please make sure you are using the co-ordinates within parent window and they are not resulting out of range.
