    win32 c++ dll code:
    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    HINSTANCE ghModule = 0;          //module handle
    HWND       ghwnd ; 
    BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
                           DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                           LPVOID lpReserved
    					 )
    {
    	switch (ul_reason_for_call)
    	{
    	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
    		ghModule = (HINSTANCE) hModule;
    	case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
    	case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
    	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
    		break;
    	}
        return TRUE;
    }
    
    CDLLClass::CDLLClass()
    {
    	return;
    }
    
    CDLL BOOL SendToApp(int ID, int i)   /* this by itself did not work for me*/
    { 
    	ghwnd = (HWND) ghModule;
         SendMessage(ghwnd,     // handle of destination window
                        ID,     // message to send 
                        i,     // first message parameter
                        0 );     // second message parameter
    
         return true;
    }
    
    int SetHook(int idHook, HOOKPROC lpfn)
    {
    	if (idHook == WH_GETMESSAGE)
    	{
    		if(gHGHook != NULL)
    		{
    			return -1;
    		}
    		
    		gHGHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_GETMESSAGE, lpfn, gInstance, 0);
    	}
    	
    	return 0;
    }
    
    int UnHook(int idHook)
    {
    	if (idHook == WH_GETMESSAGE)
    	{
    		if(gHGHook == NULL)
    		{
    			return -1;
    		}
    		UnhookWindowsHookEx(gHGHook);
    		gHGHook = NULL;
    	}
    	
    	return 0;
    }
    
    int CallNextHook(int idHook,
    				 int nCode,
    				 WPARAM wParam,
    				 LPARAM lParam)
    {
    	if (idHook == WH_GETMESSAGE)
    	{
    		if(gHGHook == NULL)
    		{
    			return -1;
    		}
    		CallNextHookEx(gHGHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
    	}
    	
    	return 0;
    }
    
    int StartHook(HWND hApp, HWND hExcel, const CString &str)
    {
    	gApp = hApp;
    	gExcel = hExcel;
    	SetHook(WH_GETMESSAGE, GetMsgProc);
    	return 0;
    }
    
    int StopHook()
    {
    	UnHook(WH_GETMESSAGE);
    	return 0;
    }
    this is part of my code for dialogapp.cpp:

    Code:
    #define WM_U_Ctrl WM_APP + 0x100
    //imported it: BOOL SendToApp(int ID, int i);
    
    void CappDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
    {
    	SendToApp(WM_U_Ctrl, 1);
    	//SendMessage(WM_U_Ctrl, 5, 0);
    }
    
    LRESULT CappDlg::OnUpFromDll(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
    {
    	SetDlgItemInt(IDC_EDIT1,wParam,lParam);
    	return 0;
    }
    I was wondered how to send update field message from win32 dll to dialog app.

    Use the ::SendMessage or ::PostMessage functions.

    Actually you are not sending the message to the Window App window but sending it to the current instance of the dll because ghModule is the dll handle.

    You can pass that to the DLL or use the FindWindow function to get the handle.
