I've never been able to get that "thread to thread" use of UI resources to
work so I typically just use SendMessage to talk to the UI (or PostMessage
if I don't need to wait for it to complete first). You might want to try
that. You can set up a UI handler in your main program then just send a
message to that window to have it write the log entry for you.

I am using a windows service and am calling an mfc function which
writes to log. The function is inside another MFC App project. Inside
that function i am loading a string from stringtable and writing it to
the logfile. The issue is that the string is not getting written to
the log. If before writing to the log, i display the string in
messagebox, it shows up correctly. but its not showing in the log
file.

In DLL we do a AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()). Do we have
to do that in service also?
Can anyone tell why this is happening?

Thanks,
Rohit
