accessing a visual basic form in a c++ dll

[mickn66]

Im not sure if this is "language specific," because it involves two languages, c++ and visual basic. Ive figured out how to make a managed class in a c++ dll available to a visual basic application; what I need to know now is how to make a form in that visual basic application available to the dll - essentially, Im putting a system-wide mouse hook in that dll, and I want it to "turn on" (or turn visible), the main form on the visual basic application. Thanks.

Does this have anything to do with .NET?

Yes, perhaps I should have qualified my question with "in the .NET framework" - thats what I meant.

If I understand you correctly, the easiest method would be to pass a Form object/window handle to the DLLs constucter.
