DLLs with message windows

[Fas]

I have a basic understanding of how to create DLLs with Microsoft VC++
6.0 and 7.0. I'm trying to create a very simple and basic DLL which
will perform some mathematical calculations. The DLL will be called
via Excel. I know how to do this and comfortable with the procedure.

My problem is that I would like a window to appear, created by the DLL
function call, giving some intermediate calculations whilst the DLL
function is running. My efforts in doing this have all ended in
failure. The window/message box that is created does not have to be
too fancy...just some general output statements. I'd REALLY be
grateful if somebody could take the time to explain how I can do this;
hopefully by using a simple WINAPI DLL.

Thanks,
F.

You need to ask in a group like news:comp.os.ms-windows.win32. It is
not a C++ language issue.
