Re: Using MFC dll from non-MFC application

Here is the basic calling routine. (I'm actually trying to call it from a
MATLAB mex function which is a non_MFC dll. But this simplifies things
and
is what I use for testing.)

__declspec(dllimport) int ViewPointCloud (void);

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
ViewPointCloud();
return 0;
}

And this is the hook function in theApp:

__declspec(dllexport) void ViewPointCloud (void);

void ViewPointCloud (void)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE (AfxGetStaticModuleState());
}

So what happens is that the main function calls the hook function,
ViewPointCloud, which in turn invokes the dll as you said. But since the
hook function has nothing to wait on, it immediately returns to the main
calling routine which then exits, which I think causes the dll to unload
from
memory. I can't figure out how to get hook function to wait until the
user
is finished with the MFC program before returning, and unloading the dll.
