I do feel the same! not much hype. Regards, Subbi.

Up and Running...! Thank you so much. Subbi.

For me Too...! subbi_iyer@hotmail.com Thanks! Subbi.

Would you mind sending me a copy also. at subbi.iyer@gmail.com

Hi, I want it one. Please invite me on subbiiyer@rediffmail.com.... Thank you, Subbi.

Bikram, Really Thank You so much for your code. I found the Problem with my code. Actually I've created a Win32 DLL thru' the Application wizard first and then I set the property to use MFC in Shared Dialog. So, i've no CWinApp Object Created, rather i've only the DLLMain function in the Application, which leads to the failure of the Application call by which i get a NULL pointer, of the AfxGetApp call in the RunModalLoop function. Again I thank you for your help. Kind Regards, Subbi.

Hi Bikram, Is it possible for you, can you kindly send me Your Test Application to me, so that i can find out the problem in my code. Even one of my other friend tried the same, even he got the same result. Kind regards, Subbi.

Hi Alok, I've my application break at the point when it tries to run the modal loop I've the call Stack goes like that Call stack: CWnd::RunModalLoop(unsigned long 4) line 3478 + 11 bytes CDialog::DoModal() line 536 + 12 bytes InvokeModalDialog(HWND__ * 0x003d0290) line 72 And it seems that line 3478 of Wincore.cpp is calling the AfxGetThread() Which is returning NULL. I thnink it will give you a clear picture... Kind Regards, Subbi.

Hi Alok, I think you have understood the problem not clearly. I'm creating a MFC Regular dll not a MFC Extention DLL as first. Further What i'm trying to export is a C++ Function rather than the MFC Dialog Class (the TestFunction in this case). The Problem is whenever i try to call the Modal Dialog the Application breaks. Kind regards, Subramanian Iyer.

Hi Friends, I've Problem exporting a Modal Dialog from a Regular MFC DLL (Shared Library). But on runtime i'm getting error when i call the DoModal on the DLL side. This is happening for both MFC DLL Depended Host Application as well as the Win32 Host Application:confused:. The Code is like this //on the DLL Side extern "C" void __declspec(dllexport) TestFunction(); void TestFunction() { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); CMyDialog dlg; dlg.DoModal(); } //On the Caller Side extern "C" void __declspec(dllimport) TestFunction(); void CMyTestApp::OnAppAbout() { TestFunction(); } Please Help Me...:-D! Kind regards, Subbi.

Even i find it is strange that there is no information about that. Even i find a link on the readme.htm file on extraced folder, but the link seems to be not working any more. Fortunatily i find it here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;de;834001[^]

Hi Chris, I've posted some question to the message boards, but it is a visual appearance question, i'm unable to explain it in words... It will be easy for me if i attach any kind of image that depicts my thoughts so the Gurus can help me (us) better. Is it possible to upload a image and attach to the message..... ThanX, Subbi Iyer

Hi Gurus, I wanted to do gradiant filling of irregular pattern. ie, for example, there is a Text in the DC, and the complex region defines the whole Text. I achived this thru', using paths and then converting paths to region fn. Now i need to fill these each characters with Gradiant filling which has to use the shape of the Text. ie, i need a procedure to seperate each character from the Text into a individual region and fill them with the Gradiant , which actually uses the shape of those character. How to achive this. Pl. Help me. I've a sample image of it. But i don't know how i can attach that image with this post. Advance ThanX, Subbi

Use SelectClipRgn on the Device context of the Bitmap Button Control and BitBlt the Bitmap on to it. Subbi.
