Error Handler forms in a DLL?

[fowlerjp]

I am working on centralizing error reporting and logging in a central DLL. I am looking to build a better msgbox in the DLL. I can add a form but how do I show form? Is this possible?

What do you mean you added a form? Did you add a dialogue resource? If so, you've got a bit of work ahead of you. If you're not familiar with programming Windows in C++ I suggest you look at the Platform SDK. I can email you an example if you want.

Sorry I only know VB, but here is what I have.

VB program with central error handling in a DLL. Options in the program allow for multiple levels of logging for trouble resolution. Standard message boxes display errors. I noticed that I can add a form in the DLL. Never thought I could do it, just poking abound the other day and did it.

The question is, can I display it? Or I guess I could just create the form at run time?

You'd have to use C++ to make a standard DLL. However, you can make an ActiveX DLL in VB which contains normal forms.
