Win32 - Loading and displaying a dialog within a DLL
Author
Hey guys, been a long time :)
Ok, here's the deal. I have a DLL that gets loaded into my application at run time. I have defined a resource file within that DLL that defines a dialog box and I'm trying to create and display the dialog from the DLL.
Some source code for you.... This code is in the DLL along with the resource file and resource header
Quoting the MSND, about GetModuleHandle():
Your g_hDLL is the application module handle. To get the dll handle, get it from the DllMain() function.
I didn't test this. I usually avoid this kind of situation.
HTH,

If this parameter is NULL, GetModuleHandle returns a handle to the file used to create the calling process (.exe file).

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
I actually was using that at one point, but it didn't seem to be the issue. At least not that by itself. But you are correct and I should change it back because it is at least fundamentally closer to correct.
About why I'm doing it this way: My engine is contained in a DLL and I want to create a log/debug window with rich edit text control and I'm just spitting out text to this control. Pretty much the same little console that quakeIII arena uses and I think doom3 uses the same because it's the same code base.
If you know of another way of doing something like this while keeping it outside of the application using the DLL then I'm all ears :)
Thanks again!

As usual, I must have been missing something simple becuase when I used the DLL instance from DllMain, it worked perfect.
Sorry for being such an ignoramous, and thanks for your suggestion!
