Update Command Handling in a Dyn. Linked DLL

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have an MFC application that makes use of an MFC DLL (dynamically linked) both of which use CodeJock.  The DLL creates a window derived from CXTPFrameWnd that has a dockable toolbar.  It works except for the command update handling.  One side-effect of this problem is that UPDATE_COMMAND_UI routing is ignored.  Another is that when you click on a button in the toolbar, it remains pressed (although I'm not clear why that would be).  
I assume all this is caused by OnIdle messages not being handled in the DLL.  Does anyone have a recommended way of working around this problem?  Or am I going about it wrong by using an XTPFrameWnd?  I should add that this frame window is being placed in the main application as a child window.

Thanks,
Karim

	Yes, beacuse OnIdle... You can route OnIdle from Main Application to DLL.
