Is it possible to add a windows form to a C++ dll, last time I tried, I got a lot of errors (cosidering its managed code).

If there is, can you give a step by step tutorial?

- Thanks, iPromise

Don't use managed C++, it is terrible.

If you want to create a DLL just use API such as CreateWindowEx, RegisterClassEx, etc. in a separate thread created at DllMain

See what i'm doing is creating a Memory Scanner, so I need a windows form to customize its GUI, however with CreateWindowEx from what I know, wont give me a GUI I want.

createwindowex will give u any GUI you want and it's even better since the window is under your full control

At entry create a new thread.
In that thread spawn the form and wait for it to close (Assuming you use a class library that doesn't mind creating forms in a thread that isn't the main thread)
