Well, you could do a GetModuleHandle on your DLL name. AfxGetInstanceHandle is defined to
give you the instance handle of the executable image, not the current DLL.

Why do you need AfxGetInstanceHandle? If you are in a DLL, you will get
the instance
handle to the DLL as the first parameter to DllMain, and you just save it.

If I query for the DLL instance handle, I can get rid of the SDK DllMain and
let the default from the runtime suffice. Then I'll have the SDK in the
lib, thus satisfying my OCD tendencies. The *only* thing the SDK-provided
DllMain does is to save the instance handle.
