You will have to create a custom dialog, with all the resources and handlers for the fields.  IS comes with an example MSVC project that has templates you can work with.

Support of completely custom dialogs is not something IS 6 excels at, as it involves a fair amount of work and is poorly explained in the helps.

There are third-party dialog creation tools mentioned on this site (and others) that may make this process a bit more friendly.

I personally had a design for a 4--field text dialog, with two of them controlled by browse buttons and a third as a password field.  The execution of this design was so convoluted that I gave up and used three standard dialogs I modified to suit my purposes.
