This is the source for a simple DLL that contains a modeless dialog 
box indicating the status of a task.  I began this project trying to 
write a DLL that would do a file conversion, indicate how it was 
progressing, and allow the user to cancel the process.  I was unable 
to find a simple example of what I was attempting, so I went through 
the grief of trial and error and borrowing from any source that 
helped.  (If anything looks familiar to you, thank-you very much.  
Please feel proud that you thought of it first, rather than slighted 
that I don't mention you.)  I learned many things along the way and, 
when I completed my DLL, thought I'd help anyone in a similar 
situation by passing this example on.  I cleaned it up a little, made 
an object out of it, and... here it is!  This example, rather than 
doing a file conversion, simply counts for 5 seconds.  In my file 
conversion, I display a record count, rather than the second count 
used in this example.  I'm sure, if you need this as an example for a 
file conversion, you will have no trouble adapting it.

This example, though trivial when complete, caused me much grief in 
the making.  I suppose I bit off more than I could chew, learning 
about Windows programming and writing a DLL with a modeless dialog box 
in it all at the same time.  Anyway, if it helps you with a similar 
project, great.  If you have ideas that could make this source better, 
please let me know, since I am far from done learning!
