Re: GUI inside dll

Yes, you might consider creating a "Regular DLL that uses MFC", note this is
not a "MFC Extension DLL".

Then, in your DLL, you'll create a dialog resource that shows whatever
dialog would be relevant for your application.
You'll create a dialog class to handle the events for the dialog.
You'll create a separate function or class that you will export from the
DLL.

You will display your dialog like this:

MainDLL.h
// Exported function
__declspec(dllexport) INT_PTR ShowMyDialog(void)

MainDLL.cpp
#include "MainDLL.h" // Contains your DLL exports
#include "MyMFCDialogClass.h" Contains MFC Dialog-based class
declaration.
INT_PTR ShowMyDialog(void)
{
    AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
    CMyDialogDlg dlgMyDialog;
    INT_PTR iRC = dlgMyDialog.DoModal();
    return iRC;
}

MyMFCDialogClass.h and MyMFCDialogClass.cpp contains the dialog class
implementation.

If you choose to use this method, then you can probably get more help with
it from the ms.public.vc.mfc newsgroup.
