How to creat a dll having a funct that converts 'int' to 'short'

[Takusaan]

I am designing an app using Visual FoxPro 6.0 and I need to to call a function that takes a 'short' variable as parameter. However FoxPro can not pass it to the function as a 'short integer'.
So my only option is to use a plain integer that I would convert to short using a Borland C++ dll.
Can anyone help?

Have you tried

int A = 12;
short B = (short) A;

Thank for responding James.
But I am new to C++ and I would need the step by step of how to build such a dll.

. I haven't created a DLL so I can't help too much.
