Sorry, I know it seems like I'm an amatuer, but it's becouse of the good for nothing tutorials around the net. I've made dlls before, but mostly in MFC. I just fed up with Visual C++ and started to learn everything in native Windows. But this was about 8 years ago so don't think I never read somthing like "that". But these are just don't working or don't give answers to things like the unresolved externals becouse of the nameing c++ uses...

I tell you onece more to be clear. I have a problem that when exporting my class it uses c++ nameing so the functions can't be find under the specified name becouse it renames them - it add something unmeanful string to it. And this isn't changes even if i'm using exter "C" or __stdcall or even I use compiler/linker options to use Standard Call. Now answer this. VC++ never complaind about things like this but Borland c++ just doing things like this and there isn't any topic that says if you encounter this kind of problem then do the following and everything will be allright. So this is a problem and with the first question I was asking some opinion which one is better lib or dll and if dll than how to use the message handler and the class in several instances. But this isn't getting clear reading beginner tutorials and advanced tutorials are not available in the topic exept the one I posted but you don't even know how it works with me. Big Grin | :-D

now that is the sum.

I'll read a lot and post an article with this topic with no VC++ and MFC in it...

If one want to load a dll in different apps, it will probably mess up the data it have. This is becouse It implemented as a class that have it's own data and functions.

Control instance-specific data would be loaded on the heap and hence it's a non-issue if it's packaged as a DLL or not.

So you saying that if I load the dll for another app it will be another entry in heap for the variables in the class (or globals too)?

Then what if I want several of the control in one app - on eno dialog? My problem is the message handler here. So it will use the same code, but with the current instances variables if I'm understanding clearly.

If you load a DLL in another app then:

The globals will be different.
The heaps will be different.

You mean cookies used on the web? Aren't the way cookies are stored specified to the browsers? So IE stores them this way in this format, FireFox stores them that way in that format and so on...?

1/ Download first file.
2/ Wait till done.
3/ Download second file.
4/ ...

a)
Many webservers will limit the amount of files you can download simultaneously. It's polite to not flood them with requests.
b)
Assuming your connection is going as fast as it can, downloading them in parallel will just make each one take longer - you're still downloading the same amount of data after all!
c)
Package them in a zip file? Then you can download them all in oen big go.

Just a few thoughts,

You want to create a new thread in a remote process with CWinThread ?
As far as I know, this is something which can't be done: you can only create a thread in your own process.
