Hello ,

to use your dll , create a new project (a win32 console application for example) in vc++. In the project settings>link>Object/Library modules write the path and the name of your lib , for example

c:\mystuff\mystuff.lib

inside the code , include the .h file like:

#include "c:\mystuff\mystuff.h"

in the tools>options>directories , set the directories of the include files and the directories of the lib files. These will be the directories where vc++ will find for your .h and .lib files.

Now you can use the code that you made for your dll.

Try search help on smth like following example.
Moreover, you must make additional exercises on parameters passing between VB and VC++. In VC++ must be additional parameter for returning value from VB functions. Return values of VB functions are error codes, i'm not shure, something like that:

Function MyFunction(iPar As Integer) As Long;
int MyFunction(int iPar, long *plRetVal);


#include <windows.h>

typedef void (*fun_ptr_type)(int);

int main()
{
HINSTANCE dll_instance;
fun_ptr_type fun_ptr=NULL;

dll_instance=LoadLibrary(&quot;my_lib.dll&quot;
if(dll_instance!=NULL) fun_ptr=(fun_ptr_type)GetProcAddress(dll_instance, &quot;MyFunction&quot;

// ....

return(0);
}

typedef int (*fun_ptr_type)(int, long *);
