You do not need to perform the check -
if (m_strClassName.IsEmpty())
AfxRegisterWndClass[^] will only register similar classes once.
Read the remarks section of the documentation.
Here is an excerpt from the documentation -
If you call AfxRegisterWndClass multiple times with identical parameters, it only registers a class on the first call. Subsequent calls to AfxRegisterWndClass with identical parameters simply return the already-registered classname.

Hi _Superman_, thank you for your response.
Yes, I know that check is useless, but it's not my code: as you can see, it's the source code of the CMFCPropertyGridCtrl class, in the Visual Studio 2008 MFC Feature Pack.
I should try to remove that check -- m_strClassName is a static member, so it's shared between DLL and EXE; maybe the registration of the control depends on the hInstance of the module calling the Create() function, so it's failing on the second call because it has been registered from another instance.
But this requires to recompile all the MFC / feature pack...?
Note that calling Create() from a third DLL do not solve the issue.
Thank you again

No No No....
Please do not compile the MFC code.
I didn't realize it was in the MFC code base.
MFC code is properly tested.
The problem could be else where.
Are you able to debug and reach the problem?

No problem, I wasn't thinking that recompiling the MFC would solve the issue 
The good news is that I have built a setup package using inno setup, and when installing on a plain Windows XP HE box the latest x86redist package downloaded from microsoft, the application works correctly.
The bad news is that I do not know why. The "working" mfc package has version number 9.0.30729.1, the package installed on my development box (and crashing) has the 9.0.30729.4148. This one seems to be an updated version, dated july 2009 (the working one is dated 2008).
I frankly expected that the older one was on my development box...
So the question is: the most updated library do not work because something has been broken in the library itself, or did I made some mistake on my application?
Any comment?
Thank you again

It is highly unlikely that the library is broken.
It should be some problem with your application.
You should try and debug it.

I agree with you.
I have checked the libraries version, both release and debug are ok.
I think that Release version of my program works as expected because, of course, ASSERT() has only means when compiling in debug mode.
From a practical approach, I should ignore the problem - the Release works. But I suspect that I will find again this problem in the future.
So I will keep search for a solution.
Do you know any issue when using some MFC classes from DLL and EXE ? I know the "AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());" call needed when accessing resources, I suspect a similar problem...
Thank you

Hey,
I encountered the exactly same problem while working with CMFCPropertyGridCtrl in my DLL project.
After many trial, i found a way to use CMFCPropertyGridCtrl in DLL without this error.
All you have to do is Create a derived class of CMFCPropertyGridToolTipCtrl(),Make its protected static variable "m_strClassName" NULL in Constructor.
for example;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Class CMyToolTipCtrl::CMFCPropertyGridToolTipCtrl();
CMyToolTipCtrl::CMyToolTipCtrl()
{
m_strClassName = "";
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Now create ToolTipctrl from your CMFCPropertyGridToolTipCtrl() derived class on Init of the CMFCPropertyGridCtrl derived Class.
for example,
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Class MyPropertyGridCtrl::CMFCPropertyGridCtrl();
void MyPropertyGridCtrl::Init()
{
CMyToolTipCtrl p_tooltip;
p_tooltip.Create(this);
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
There is always a way.
Priyanka Oza.

I have some code that has just recently started to 'fail'. I suspect that as long the method StdioFile::ReadString(CString&) would remove both a carriage return and linefeed pair, the code would work fine. I've been through the documentation on MSDN and through the MFC code and it seems that even though the method will 'break' on a carriage return linefeed pair, it will only remove the linefeed character from the string before it is returned. Does anyone know if this is a change that's documented somewhere. Thanks.

I know that in UNICODE builds, this is a problem when reading UTF16 files. A fix is to open the file in binary mode, and strip the carriage return off the incoming string. I do not know where the docs say so though, but a quick search of "CStdioFile ReadString Unicode" will return lots of discussions on the issue.

Thanks for the help, PJ. This is one of those problems that comes along at the end of the day when the brain's function at a little lower level than normal. This morning, I did some more research and found that the cr/lf pair translation only occurs if the file is opened in text mode. It turns out that a change in our class library, ironically to assist with handling UTF16 type files, changed the default opening mode from type text to type binary and that's causing the issue.
Appreciate the response.

Hello.
CDC *pDC = GetDC();
CDC tmpDC;
BOOL bRet=tmpDC.CreateCompatibleDC( pDC ); //bRet is 1 => it means succes.
CBitmap m_bmp;
bRet= m_bmp.CreateCompatibleBitmap( pDC, rect.Width(), rect.Height() );
//bRet is 0 ==>it is an error.
DWORD err=GetLastError(); //err is 8. --> it is an error.
error code 8 means : "Not enough storage is available to process this command. "
here, my hdd is 50M remains, and I have enough space fo runing some program...
Why, CreateCompatibleDC() return error code 8?
my System is abnormal?
Thanks.

"Not enough storage" here means memory.
rect not initialized?
I also think rect is the problem.

Hello,
I have created a CRichEditCtrl without borders . After i create it i want to change its borders . How do i change its borders with WS_BORDER window style ?
Pritha

Are you saying that you want to add borders?
You can use the ModifyStyle[^] method.
richEdit.ModifyStyle(0, WS_BORDER);

And then call RedrawWindow() with the RDW_INVALIDATE, RDW_FRAME, and RDW_UPDATENOW flags.

I am developing a property sheet-based application on XP using VC++ 6. When it starts it talks briefly to an instrument over a serial port in app::InitInstance(), creates the property sheet, adds a few pages, and does an appSheet.DoModal() to make it appear. In order to get an icon to appear in the taskbar and Alt-Tab, I use this code in appSheet::OnInitDialog():
AfxGetMainWnd()->SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME), TRUE);
AfxGetMainWnd()->SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME), FALSE);
The app works just fine, and until I added a slight twist mentioned next the icons appeared as expected.
For the several seconds during which the app is initially talking to the instrument the user sees nothing happening. So at the beginning of app::InitInstance() I create a modeless dialog that asks the user to be patient while the app starts up, and then hide the dialog at the end of the startup property page's OnInitDialog(). This works fine and looks great. Except that now SetIcon(), above, returns 0 and I get the generic white window icon for Alt-Tab and nothing in the taskbar. The icon in the title bar is still correct.
If I use the following code in place of the previous code, I can get the icon to display when I do an Alt-Tab, but nothing shows up in the taskbar.
HICON hIcon=AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME);
CWnd* pFrame=AfxGetMainWnd();
::SetClassLong(pFrame->GetSafeHwnd(), GCL_HICON, (long)hIcon);
Interestingly, until I do this the generic MFC icon shows up in the taskbar.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to get my icon and app name to appear in the taskbar?
Thanks

What are the values returned by the SetIcon() method? It could be that your modeless dialog has the icons locked while it is displayed?

SetIcon() returns 0 (zero) rather than a handle to an icon.
I'm not sure what you mean about the application's icons being locked by the modeless dialog; how would I investigate this possibility? And if this is the case, can I make the dialog unlock them? The dialog lives as long as the app and is hidden or displayed, with different messages, as I change modes while communicating with the instrument.

rfparker wrote: SetIcon() returns 0 (zero) rather than a handle to an icon.
So SetIcon is failing.
I would suggest that you take the communication and startup dialog code out of your InitInstance() function and put them in a separate function so that your app can be properly initialized before you do anything else. One way is to post a custom message to your main window at the end of InitInstance() and do the communication from the message handler.

Yes, that might be a better way to do it (though AppWizard puts the call to DoModal() in a dialog-based app's InitInstance()) and I've made that change. It makes no difference to the functionality that I see.
Since I can get the correct title bar and Alt-Tab icons to appear by setting them in the property sheet's OnInitDialog(), the real issue is the button on the taskbar. I guess the modeless dialog is considered the main window for the task (it has to be created first), since when it is displayed the button appears and as soon as it is hidden (SW_HIDE) the button disappears. So I can't hide the modeless dialog without also disappearing the taskbar button. So for now I'm not hiding the modeless dialog, which is undesirable.
There is also the issue of the initial icon on the taskbar button. I've added SetWindowText() to the modeless dialog's OnInitDialog() to set the proper caption, since there's no title bar, and added WS_SYSMENU to the .rc to force the icon to appear, but, until the property sheet loads the icon I want, I see the MFC cube icon in the taskbar button. After the property sheet loads the icon, that one is always displayed on the taskbar, even when I've temporarily destroyed the property sheet and the modeless dialog has reappeared.
What I'd like is to be able to hide the modeless dialog when I display the property sheet and not have the taskbar button disappear, and to set the taskbar button's icon so the MFC cube doesn't appear.

i just tried following code it works
m_prop.m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_MYICON);
m_prop.m_psh.dwFlags |= PSP_USEHICON;
m_prop.m_psh.hIcon = m_prop.m_hIcon;
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);
try this may help you...
