i don't think that is going to work for you.
the net manager components i do think are ocx type
and thus requires a window..
your going to need a window to handle the messages.
at least you will need a message loop..
you may want to try the ICS components instead.
i do think they create their own window.
but still, i think a message loop maybe required.
