    I suggest you look into using an MFC Extension DLL to export your dialog classes so that they can be shared by MFC applications. You may also find the discussion at which-is-the-best-way-to-use-an-mfc-application-as.html to be informative and it also contains a link to an MFC Extension DLL sample that I provided for that questioner.
