Create dialog in DLL from resource?

[BeanDog]

I created an MFC-enabled DLL project in MSVC++6.0, added a blank dialog resource with the resource editor, and run the following when the DLL is loaded:

CDialog dlg;
dlg.Create(IDD_DLG);

This fails. It also fails if I use MAKEINTRESOURCE before passing IDD_DLG in. It gives me a failed assertion saying something about a resource handle being NULL. Why can't I do this?

Hi.

Try the followiong:

CDialog* pDlg;
pDlg->Create(IDD_DLG);
pDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

For more info read MSDN CDialog.

best regards,
Kirilla

As I said in my original post, the problem is not that the window is not visible. I WANT it to be invisible (I just need it to hold an ActiveX control to do invisible work). It gives me an assert error on the Create.
