CreateWindowEx api call--the old way.<br />

I am writing a DLL that will make calls to an external device, and need to process Windows Messages to identify results.  I can do this in an exe by overridding WndProc, but with a DLL there is no Windows Handle (hWnd) available.

How do I process Windows events (WndProc) through a VB DLL?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
