form in dll

[Rudolf Furstauer]

Hallo Paul,       
     
I've got a small problem:

I try to give a form in a dll.
In one example (Visual_DLL_works.zip) it works, in another example (Visual_DLL_failed.zip) I give
an additional FireImage on the form in the dll and it no longer works.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Hi Rudolf,

My tests indicate that I have the GDI+ startup code generated in the wrong place for DLL's. I need to move it to the %DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH message within FF_LIBMAIN. I will see if I can change the code generation and then post a new FireFly exe for you to try.

Actually, the problem was that the GDI+ shutdown code would always be called for DLL's therefore the visual control would never show. I added code as follows:

Code Select Expand


#If Not %Def( %DLL_PROJECT )
    ' Shutdown the GDI+ library
   GdiplusShutdown_FF GDIToken
#EndIf


You can try the new FireFly.exe attached to see if it works okay for you.
