Calling an MFC DLL through efs script

[ketalipa100]

Hi,
I have built an MFC DLL using C++, which creates a Socket and connects to a host. I have tested it through a Win32 application and it works fine.
However when i try to call this function in an eSsignal script, although it is executed, after some seconds eSignal crashes (a window pops up which tells: Application has encountered a problem and will be terminated.......).

Is there any problem with eSignal and MFC DLLs?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

You may have some blocking issues going on under the covers here.

I think you can get away with just about anything you want to in a DLLObject so long as:

1. You don't block.

2. Stay away from anything which could generate a Windows message which could get dispatched to one of the eSignal windows and get unintentionally processed by it.
