Board index » Visual Studio » MFC static DLL Export to Win32 app?

Visual Studio180
I would like to export mfc derived classes such as CDialogs in a regular DLL

(statically linked to MFC) to a plain Win32 application.

Or to rephrase this question, if I have an app that uses MFC, instead of

dynamically linking to a MFC lib, can I dynamically link to a DLL, that is

already statically linked to MFC?



Because of redist issues, I need to statically link to MFC. I presently

have several apps, whose overlapping functionality I'd like to consolidate

into a single DLL. I understand that there are Extension DLLs, but this

doesn't help me because it seems to require dynamic linking to MFC for both

DLL and app.



TIA

Francis,



You should be able to - providing that the interfaces between your

EXE/DLL don't involve MFC classes or anything that requires a common

shared (DLL) between them.
