Another question is how can I display a dialog box ( using doModal() ) and perform a function immediately without User Interaction?

First in the OnInitDialog function you call SetTimer to set time say 1 sec.

<code>
void OnShowWindow(){
  // here I set timer
  SetTimer(....);

 // Then the database connection
 // Its long enough 1 sec 
 // problem .....

  return;
}
</code>

<code>
void OnShowWindow(){
  // Then the database connection
 // Its long enough 1 sec 


  // here I set timer
  SetTimer(....);  // less chance of problem
  return;
}
</code>

Delay MessageBox delays a short period of time before going to the next step of code.. But I would like to display the messagebox and continue the nxt step of code as per normal..

My question is that when I provided it with .lib file, FreeType library should be statically linked to my program why it requires the .dll to be accessible for the EXE?
