How or can you export functions in a VB(ActiveX) DLL so that you can call them using the 'Declare' statement in Visual Basic as you would using API functions?

I know VB creates 4 exported functions already in it's ActiveX DLLs for registering and unregistering and createing and releasing classes.

If it can do it we should be able to also, I just can seem to find out how.

Thanks Guys !!

You can't. VB generates a COM DLL. The API DLL's are not COM. Public methods (Sub, Function, Property) of the classes in yoyur DLL will be exposed so that if you include the DLL in the Project Components, you will be able to use them. Generate Forms/Controls Resizing/Tabbing Class
Compare Code (Text)
Generate Sort Class in VB or VBScript
