You can simply use CDocument's GetFirstViewPosition() and GetNextView() to access the desired view. An alternative for frame windos is calling AfxGetMainWnd()->GetActiveView(), which gives you access to the current view.

Did you call EnableToolTips from within your dialog window?

As you surely know you create a button using CreateWindow, specifying BUTTON as class name. Also here you can specify BS_BITMAP as a window style, and then use BM_SETIMAGE to place an image on the button.

Zeeshan Bilal wrote: How to place a Image (BMP, JPEG etc) on a Button Either create a CButton object using the BS_BITMAP style, or derive your own class from CButton and do the drawing yourself. The latter solution could for example make use of the IPicture interface to actually display the image.

Sounds like the compiler doesn't recognize CMySocket. If you included MySocket.h inside collectorinfo.h, then announce the class in collectorinfo.h by typing class CMySocket before any declarations. Or inlcude the header inside collectorinfo.h.

Unfortunately (?) I was never a part of the development teams that invented MFC and the related techniques. So I fear this is a question I can't answer you - I just take it as is, and every time my DLL does some weird things the 'AFX_MODULE_THINGY' is the first thing that comes to me. Hope you'll reach that state soon, too. ;)

AFAIK this is the only solution. I don't think it's weird cause you only want to change the module state during the function call, and then set it back to the main application. And adding one line of code isn't too bad, is it ? :)

Did you insert AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); before any MFC call you do from within a DLL function?

a look at msdn brings the following solution: using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices; const char* str = (const char*) (Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(managedString)).ToPointer(); // use str as you wish or copy it elsewhere // free string Marshal::FreeHGlobal(IntPtr((void*)str));
