November 13th, 1999, 12:56 PM
A Visual C++ app calls a DLL that was written in VB6.
The VB6 DLL attempts to display a Non-Modal (modeless)
dialog and the following message box appears.

=================================================
|| |"Non-Modal forms cannot be displayed in this host application ||
|| from an ActiveX DLL, ActiveX Control, or Property Page" ||
==================================================
Is it possible for a Visual C++ app to be made compatable to
run a Non-Modal form that is in a VB DLL?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

if you create an Active exe instead of a ...DLL, you should be able to create a non-modal form even in VB.
