walaa23 (1)
Hi all,

I create a MFC DLL "Static" and with wizard I add a dialog and "Microsoft web browser" ActiveX in this dialog, also I create a class for this Dialog.

All I want here to call this Dll from a Win32 app "normal c++" and load this Dialog into the Main UI, But I got an Assertion error.
