I have implemented some window classes that I would like to use in DLL's,
since I have several applications that use them.  The "Guide to Programmin"
makes a passing reference to registering window classes in the DLL's
initialization function.  A couple questions:

1)  Where do I get an instance handle to use with RegisterClass()?

2)  I want to use CS_GLOBALCLASS so that all applications can use
this window class.  What happens when the first application that caused
the DLL to be loaded (and hence initialized) terminates and other
subsequent applications using the windows class continue running?

Are there any references where this is covered, like maybe the MSJ?
