    Progress Bar in DLL.

    Hi,

    I have written a multithreading DLL that is called by VB (frontend GUI). I need to keep track of each thread's progress with a prgoress bar. Each thread basically does some updating in an SQL database.

    What would be the best solution for this??
    Any ideas would be very helpful to me. I am having problems with the "DIALOGBOX" in VC++. Should i be using an MFC DLL??or a WIN32 DLL?

    Thanks.

    Ryan

    When I do similar, I use PostMessage() in the threads to send update status to the central GUI thread. Don't know if that translates to VB.

    >>> I am having problems with the "DIALOGBOX" in VC++.

    May help to narrow the field down there a bit.

    >>> Should i be using an MFC DLL??or a WIN32 DLL?

    In what context? A .dll is basically a .dll. If you mean the options under VC's "New" then one invokes the MFC wizard and fills your file with junk, the other doesn't. If you are using MFC, (I don't), and like wizards, (I don't), then you have the choice.

    If I was to be calling the .dll from something other than VC, I would stay away from MFC etc., anyway.
