Call a dll 1

[jamez05]

I have a program written in C++ 4.0 that needs to call a dll.

Here's the beginning of the instructions I have for the dll:

The KOWDLL.DLL was compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 ...
it uses standard "C" language programming (not C++) ... it
contains one accessible function as follows:


__declspec ( dllexport )int WINAPI GetSrcKow32 (PSTR cSmilePass,
       PSTR cChemical, float *EstValue, float *ExpKowVal,
       PSTR DetailResults, int *numLines, PSTR ErrorMess)
{
 /*  cSmilePass  -  SMILES string being passed to the function ... [360] max */

I haven't done this before (still very new to C programming). If anyone knows of any good tutorials or has some advice, it would be much appreciated.

Add extern "C" to exported function prototypes if you want to use the dll in C (VB etc).
Use Depends VS tool to see what's a name was exported.
