Hi Mark I made the following change: ----------------------- // @pymethod |PyCDialog|CreateWindow|Create a modeless window for the dialog box. static PyObject *ui_dialog_create_window( PyObject *self, PyObject *args ) { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); PyObject *obParent = NULL; CWnd *pParent = NULL; // @pyparm <o PyCWnd>|obParent|None|The parent window for the new window if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"|O:CreateWindow", &obParent)) return NULL; . . . . ---------------- after adding AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); i get the following link-errors: ---- Linking... mfcs71.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: [EMAIL PROTECTED] already defined in dllmain.obj mfcs71.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: __pRawDllMain already defined in dllmain.obj mfcs71.lib(dllmodul.obj) : warning LNK4006: [EMAIL PROTECTED] already defined in dllmain.obj; second definition ignored mfcs71.lib(dllmodul.obj) : warning LNK4006: __pRawDllMain already defined in dllmain.obj; second definition ignored Creating library .\Build/win32ui.lib and object .\Build/win32ui.exp Build\win32ui.pyd : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found Build log was saved at "file://c:\src\pywin\pywin32-210\pythonwin\Build\Temp\win32ui\Release\BuildLog.htm" win32ui - 3 error(s), 2 warning(s) ----- At least M$ says something like (wrong order of linking): http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B148652&x=13&y=18 im already playing around with this linker issue for some hours but no solution yet. Anyway I wonder why AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); is not included in win32ui on every functioncall dealing with the mfc since it always could happen that somebody would like to open a dlg as a COM-Component :) further inf on AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()) can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B140850&x=11&y=9 thx for answering Michael -- Michael Morisak RISC Software GmbH -- Johannes Kepler Universitaet Linz IT-Center, Hauptstrasse 119 phone: ++43 7236 3343-251 4232 Hagenberg, Austria fax: ++43 7236 3343-250 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
