I suspect you can't use MFC classes across DLL boundries. Here are some possible reasons:
- MFC's handle map implementation.
- Different heaps.
- Different compiler settings in EXE and DLL.

class CExample
{
public:
    int GetNum() { return g_Number; }
}

First, using operations like CreateWindow in your constructor is dangerous since if CreateWindow fails, you have not completed your construction of the object. It is safer to initialize any variables and have a separate Create function to create your window.

Doing this as part of the static memory allocation for your Dll can cause problems if the DLL fails to load properly. Basically, the same arguments for not calling CreateWindow inside your DllMain apply to calling it before it gets called as well.

Well, the first coder didn't work, while the second did.

Yet, that makes a buffer of N chars. That's not what I want. What if the user inputs n+1 chars.

char ch;
string input;
while ((ch = cin.getc()) != '\n')
{
   input += ch;
}

char* MyText = new char[5];
cin>>MyText;
MyText = new char[10];
delete[] MyText;

Is there a leak here??

Will the memory be freed?

Now , I called a second new without deleting the first one. Is there a leak here??

Nader Elshehabi wrote:

What if I didn't call a delete at all!! Once my program finishes and closes. Will the memory be freed?
Or will it be permanently locked until reboot?
