Calling functions from a DLL

[jerasi]

I am trying to call a function from a dll I'm importing using the #import statement, the code is below:

#import "myDLL.dll"
using namespace myNS;
myNS::ITF::Validate(BSTR1, BSTR2, &BSTR3);

I get the error C2352: 'myNS::ITF::Validate' : illegal call of non-static member function.
Is there a way to fix this, or better yet, is there a different way of calling a function from a dll file.

P.S. all i have is the DLL file it was writen using delphi.

Thank You.

if ITF is a class you should
ITF x;
x.Validate.... John Fill

I tried that and i get more errors like 'pure virtual function_name(...) is not defined...'

if a class has a pure virtual function, it means what it is an abstract class. An abstract class can not be instanciaded. Theese function can be implemented in some derived classes. So you can
ITF* x;
x=new ChildOfX();
x->Validate... John Fill
