Calling a dll

AHN
Hi, folks;

Please instruct a newbie in a very regular matter.

How'm I calling an unmanaged dll written in vb from unmanaged vc++?
Same question for (mainframe) c++?

Thank you very much.

Please instruct a newbie in a very regular matter.
The classic VB groups are named microosft.public.vb.*, and the native
VC++ groups microsoft.public.vc.*. This group is dedicated to C#, and
your question is in no way C# related AFAICT.

How'm I calling an unmanaged dll written in vb from unmanaged vc++?


Look up the #import directive.
