There are a few things that you'd need to change to make it work the way that you intended it to work. First of all, you need to change the Set function to take in a pointer to a pointer. Secondly, in your set function you are creating a CA object on the stack (which will get destroyed as soon as the function returns, even though you may have copied the correct address - which doesn't happen anyway. Try this... In DLL: Set(CA** ppCAInDll) { CA * pA = new CA; *ppCAInDll = pA; } In EXE: CA* inexe = NULL; Set(&inexe); inexe->aa(); inexe->bb(); Make sure you delete the object pointed to by inexe, since it's been new'ed in the dll.

D0H! I found out just incase anyone cares... The EM_EXGETSEL does the magic. I never called that as I thought it would return 0,0 if nothing is selected, but it does return the correct ranges. Jignesh

Hi, I've been stumped by this (or am just too blind!) problem. I am trying to get the number of characters before the caret in a Rich Edit Control. Is this possible? If not all the characters before the caret, then even the number of characters before the caret in the particular line - i'm using a multiline rich edit control. Does anyone know how to do this? It's kind of similar to the col num value in most word processors, which wordpad or notepad don't have. Thanks in advance, Jignesh

Yeah, I heard about these a well, but I think these have been there since NT 3.x (maybe i'm wrong). Those eggs you described are associated with the screen savers and not the OS itself. I guess there aren't any. Thanks, Jignes

It's been quite sometime now since the release of W2K and I haven't come across an easter egg (hidden waste of space feature which does nothing, but are still quite cool to look at) in W2K yet. Searching eeggs.com doesn't reveal anything interesting. Anyone know of one in W2K?

I have a problem with DevStudio Sp3 running under Win2K. The attach to process dialog doesn't show any processes! Does anyone else have such a problem? Jignesh
