Hi
How to integrate an MFC 7.0 DLL into a standard C++ application.

I'm going to use an OPC Toolkit for C++ and have to interface my MFC DLLs.
How do I do this?
Any recommendations? Links?

Regards
Kjell Arne Johansen

Hello,
You have just said MFC 7 DLL, but which DLL, Extension, Regular with MFC Statically Link,
or Regular with MFC Dynamically link ? If you could compile your MFC DLL then link it with
/MAP option or say generate MAP file. This file will have all the decorated functions, use
these names to create the .DEF file. Now, if your problem is just how to link the existing
DLL then use the linker options, and give the path and file name of your .LIB file that
you have with your DLL, and put the DLL in to your execution path.

One way is to generate a dummy console app that uses MFC. It will contain the appropriate
MFC initialization calls in it. For example, I just created a console application, went to
the configuration, selected the MFC support option, and got

// mfcconsole.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "mfcconsole.h"
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif


// The one and only application object

CWinApp theApp;

using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
int nRetCode = 0;

// initialize MFC and print and error on failure
if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
{
// TODO: change error code to suit your needs
_tprintf(_T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed\n"));
nRetCode = 1;
}
else
{
// TODO: code your application's behavior here.
}

return nRetCode;
}

This was using VS7.1 (VS .NET 2003)
