I created a DLL that displays a windows like message (based on Xception's example). However, when I opened up the DLL in Wordpad (as well as Notepad and MS Word) even though it was compiled, there was the text 'Memory allocation failed' and 'Allocation failed.' Does anyone know the cause of this? In Xception's DLL there was nothing like this.

have you tryed the dll to see if it works? if it works those error messages are there just in case something should go wrong. most programs have things like that so if the program crashes you know what when wrong. maybey the difference is your using a different compiler than xception

The DLL works fine. I'm just not sure if the text 'Allocation failed' and stuff should be in there.

I wouldn't worry about it if it works fine. Probably just a weird compiler thing :)

Alright guys. Thanks for your help. :)
