When writing DLL code, I found that a window class registered using the
DLL instance handle caused problems.  If the application calling the
DLL was closed and then started a second time without exiting windows
first, the call to RegisterClass in the DLL would fail the second time.
The solution I found was to use the parent application's instance
handle when calling RegisterClass in the DLL.  This works for the code
I'm writing because only 1 application can use the DLL and only 1
instance of the application can exist at any one time.

Along the way, I tried bypassing RegisterClass if the DLL had been
initialized previously, but then the call to CreateWindow failed when
using that class.

Hope this is of some use to you.
