What i mean i create the wrapper for the DLL file I do have the code for that DLL file and the code is writin in C/Win32. Now i want to use this code in the MFC app with the MDI style so where CView it would display that object. Now i think think this is how i load the dll at run time HINSTANCE m_hInstDLL; if ((m_hInstDLL = LoadLibrary("name.dll")) == NULL) { return FALSE; // Failed to load the localized resources. } else { AfxSetResourceHandle(m_hInstDLL); // Get resources from the DLL. } Now after loading the DLL how do i use these function for the DLL? what else to i have to declare that where the wrapper come in. I want to have a class that controls all this functions. where abouts do i start. I hope you known what i'm trying to say. Then main think is that i want to display the control in CView window or is it called CDocument window...but you known what i'm taking about here. Thanks for the help Matt
