I'm new to VC++ (.NET). I've created a simple DLL that is a plug-in,
called from a 3rd party application. There is essentially no
parameters passed to the DLL.

I want the DLL to be able to present modal dialogs, either to get
information from the user, or to present error messages.

What would be the easiest way to hook up dialog functionality? MFC?
ATL? Win 32? I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks,

Modal dialogs have their own internal message loop so just call DialogBox()
and it'll work. Naturally the thread that is calling the function won't do
anything
else while the dialog box is displayed, unless your dlgproc does something..


If you meant modeless dialog box then you need to start a separate message
loop thread. The most appropriate place to do that would be in DllMain()
as you will need the HWND to the dialog in calls to IsDialogMessage().
