vc++ api question...........

This is a welcome message. Welcome in the wonderful world of c++ api! Seriously, this happens in most cases when your program crashes or does something wrong, you'll see it many times... What you have to do is:

1) run your program in the Visual Studio Debugger. 2) check the "Exceptions" under the "Debug" menu (visible only while running the debugger) and set at least c00000005 "Access violation" to "Stop Always". It might help to find what's wrong 3) put all your code in try/catch statements to exit smoothly from your add-in if something goes wrong. Hopefully, SW will be able to continue after that. Good luck!

Found in the MSDN Library help about AFX_MANAGE_STATE By default, MFC uses the resource handle of the main application to load the resource template. If you have an exported function in a DLL, such as one that launches a dialog box in the DLL, this template is actually stored in the DLL module. You need to switch the module state for the correct handle to be used. You can do this by adding the following code to the beginning of the function:

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState( )); This swaps the current module state with the state returned from AfxGetStaticModuleState until the end of the current scope.

Example : void CTest::CreateAlias() { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); CDlgAlias dlg; dlg.DoModal(); }

It may correct your problem

Boring1.dll - 3 error(s), 2 warning(s)

Is there anything that I am missing again...please help me out...

~Sushil.

you're linking the wrong MFC dlls. In project settings, C/C++ tab, select "Multithreaded DLL" under "Use run-time library". You must select this for all libs or dlls your project is using.
