How can I disable the display of the "Entry Point Not Found" message

[Hans Kopp]

Hi,

I have a C++ application that is trying to create a COM object that resides
in a DLL that cannot be loaded due to unresolved DLL entry points.

When this happens a dialog is displayed with the message 'The procedure
entry point <someFunction> could not be located in the dynamic link library
<someDLL>.'

I don't want to see this message dialog in my application. Instead the
creation of the COM object should simply fail without displaying any
notifications.

I'm looking for some global flags that allow me to change the behavior of
the application so that this dialog is no longer displayed. It's not an
option to change the code that creates the COM object.

Does something like this exist?

The strange thing is that these error message appears only if a certain 3rd
party DLL is loaded as well - without it I get the behavior I want.

Regards,

Hans
