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:

----

"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:

thx for answering


Michael
