Re: calling modal dialog function from external c code

Are you using this in a Regular DLL or a different thread?

Regular DLL, at a guess.

That will do it. You will need to use AFX_MANAGE_STATE and change the
state.

This would mean m_cltStaticText has not been subclassed.

Having a quick search around, I suspect this maybe where I am going
wrong...


How did you associate the static control that is represented by m_ctlStaticText?

Using the Add Member Variable Wizard, which appears to add the
following:

// MyAppDlg class header
CStatic m_ctlStaticText;

// MyAppDlg::DoDataExchange
CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
DDX_Control(pDX, ID_STATIC_TEXT, m_ctlStaticText);

Am I missing something there?

That all looks good. I think not using AFX_MANAGE_STATE is very likely
to be the problem. This is needed only in a Regular DLL and not in EXE
or a MFC Extension DLL.
