We are moving a large MFC product to Prof-UIS 2.84.



We have a project that has the following structure:



An EXE

DLL1

DLL2



The EXE links to MFC regular DLL1 and MFC regular DLL2. as well as the standard Prof-UIS libraries ProfUIS284md.dll



The DLLs use CExt_ProfUIS_ModuleState::InitExtension( ::AfxGetStaticModuleState() ); in their InitInstance as well as define __PROF_UIS_FOR_REGULAR_DLL so they link to ProfUIS284md-RDE.dll



The problem appears to be that g_pExternalModuleState is a singleton and when DLL2 get initialized it resets the state for any calls from DLL1.  Any DoModal calls from DLL1 try to locate the resources from Dll2.



Is there a way to get the automatic state management in Prof-UIS to handle this or is there a way to manually manage the Prof-UIS state?





Thanks

There are only two solutions available:

1) Good solution. Link your regular DLLs with Prof-UIS RDE library statically. I.e. you should use static RDE version of Prof-UIS.

2) Bad solution. Create several copies of Prof-UIS RDE library as DLL. All the copies must have different names.
