The description of a dialog box is usually saved in ".rc" or ".res" file.
When a project is linked, the dialog box description is placed in the ".exe" file, in a special section, near the beginning.
There are softwares that can extract icons, dialogbox descriptions, and other resource items, from an ".exe" file.

The dialog box is a resource inside your executable, it's not stored on disk separately.

Hi i think,
In the source code, the definition of dialog template is stored in the .rc file.
When exe is buil, this defenition will become a part of exe file.
Thanks
