Does anyone here know if the following is possible..

from a C program I want to pass an hwnd for my current window to
a MFC DLL written with VC++ 5.  Within the dll I create a small
status window with the progress meter, a status line, animation..etc..

this is created by creating an instance of the CDialog class.  which
requires
a pointer to a Cwnd.  as my C program, or an Ada program, don't
use classes but do have an Hwnd, which is a member of the CDialog::m_Hwnd

I want to be able to associate the passed Hwnd with a Cwnd so that I can
create the instance of the CDialog.   Cwnd::Attach(new Hwnd) doesn't work..

is there a way?  or am I wasting my time?? Has anyone of you ever attempted
this
before??
thanks
