I've been given an API (a C++ .h and .lib) file by a client to access from my Visual Basic 6 App. How do I do this? I know how to Declare Functions from a DLL in VB6, but can you do the same with a .LIB file?

Thanks.

Nope, don't think so. They are used to link to C targets.

the .h and the .lib files should provide you with C/C++ declarations that you can translate into VB declarations so that you can use the DLL that the .h and .lib are used in. They did give you a DLL, didn't they...

no .dll provided -- just (in addition to the .h and .lib) a .bin file. will this work?

i should've taken that c++ class back in college... :(
