generating a form from a .dll

[Bernie Yaeger]

I saw a thread on this a few days ago; can't find it now.

Here's the issue: can you create a form, complete with controls, events,
etc, directly from a .dll. I have used .dll's to reduce code and size in
the main exe, but never a form, because, on the surface, it appeared to be
too involved, but can it be done? What's involved?

Tx for any help.

Should work -- what's the problem?

You create a library and then add a reference to the library in your project
and create an inherited form.

Hi Herfried,

No problem - I'm just being a coward. I'll try it!
