The correct answer is no. The practical, common sense answer, is yes (provided the target OS is Windows and you're ready to put some effort in the task...)

Most languages allows using Windows API (on Windows, of course) that comes inside DLLs, hence you will be able to use, as well, your DLLs, in such languages.

Your question "Tell me all about DLLs" is not something we can answer in a few lines - you'll have to do a bunch of learning yourself. Luckily, other people have written articles on the subject!

I put "DLL" in the search bar near the top of the code project window, and can see these useful articles:

Good luck on your journey,

add-in for outlook express

Hello all,

I have been given the work which includes writing a add-in for Outlook Express.
The working of this add-in should be as follows:

Whenever a mail is opened in a new window & a right-click is made on a sender's name,then a context menu should pop-up which will include some menu items apart from
existing ones.
I would also like to provide a separate tool bar which will have some buttons on it,
providing same functionality.

Is there a way of doing this without making use of Third-party libraries.

reply me at : n.chudekar.31@gmail.com

Thanks n Regards,
Nikhil.

I don't know about Outlook Express but for MS Outlook, you can do the operations that you have given using Microsoft VSTO. Please read more about it and see if it helps you.

Calling Invalidate will redraw the dialog.
You can handle WM_CTLCOLORDLG and return the appropriate brush.

Another approach than the other reply.

You can map WM_ERASEBKGND and write like...

BOOL CMyDlg::OnEraseBkGnd( CDC* pDC )
{
 CRect rect;
 GetClientRect( &rect );
 pDC->FillSolidRect( &rect, m_clrBK );
}

You can set the m_clrBK where ever you needed and call Inbvalidate( TRUE ); to update the background.

Did you handle WM_CTLCOLOR and you need to declare a COLORREF variable and use it on this event with SetBKColor.

I have a MFC Ribbon application that I developed on 32bit system. I have statically linked to MFC.
My question is whether this application will run fine on 64bit XP/Vista?

It will if you have all the necessary dependencies.

If the app runs fine on a 32-bit OS, it is guaranteed to run fine as it is (most of the time) on a 64-bit OS. The app. would still be running as a 32-bit application.
