Re: Using MFC dll from non-MFC application

Thank you for responding Ajay. Yes, I am using a regular dll since I need
to call it from a non-MFC program. From what I understand, I only need the
AFX_MANAGE_STATE if I am linking to MFC dynamically. But just to be sure I
have it in anyway, but it doesn't help. It crashes with or without it. Here
is the code with the hook function to the application and InitInstance. I
tried to strip it down as much as possible. Anybody see anything that looks
fishy?

Thank you.
