Re: MDI application embedded into DLL

OK,

The main application (MFC MDI) has a lot of components called by clicking in
the main toolbar. Each component is embedded into DLL written in Delphi
language and the main application uses functions exported in these DLL. But
one must be written in C++ (let's say "cour") and must have the same
functionality that a MDI MFC application such as open several documents,
work in these documents and save them. The component "cour" have also its
main toolbar containing functionality like open, save, print, print preview,
copy, paste, undo, etc. and I want that this component (cour) be embedded
into DLL and shared by another main application (not written in C++). So, I
want to build the component "cour" in the form of DLL with its own MFC
classes (view, document, mainframe, etc.) and export some functions to be
called by the two main applications.

In summary, I want to have a DLL component that has the same behavior that a
MDI application but I can't do it with the three forms of MFC DLL. In these
three forms, I haven't the view, document and mainframe classes and I don't
know how to start the MFC framework in these DLL to open document or to
create new document in a child frame.



Thanks for interesting

Its not clear what you are trying to do. Are you asking to execute
commands between two instances of an application? Why do you need to
use ShellExecute to execute commands?

Hi,
Perhaps, I didn't explain very well what I want. In fact, i have a main
MFC
MDI application composed of some DLL components. One of these components
is
shared by more than one main application and it has a same behavior that a
MFC MDI application (open, save and close documents). So I want to build
this component into DLL to can share it between the two applications and
not
use simply "shellExecute" because with this solution there isn't
integration
between the component and the main application.
I hope that I'm clear now and i hope that i found a solution to this
problem.

Thanks
