I just went through that MedicalHistory example. Well i don't understand c++
well but as
far as what I understood, that on click of menu item will call
InvokeCommand(LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici) method.
Inside this method ShowMedicalHistory(oidPatient) is being called.
This method takes care of displaying the dialog box (custom dialog box). At
present entire code of this custom dialog box is part of the
MedicalHistory.dll.
For my application I will be developing custom dialog UI and code it using C#.
Now is it possible that i use the same vc++ dll to handle/insert context
menus and on click of the menu i invoke my c# application?
