DLL tutorial

[filburt1]

Where can I get a tutorial for writing DLLs in C++ and using them in my VB programs?

Search for Declare in this forum using my username, and I think the thread is called "DLL".

That? BTW, I'm not using VC++, but Borland Turbo C++ 4.5 (16-bit).

[parksie]

Yes that's it.

You can't make Win32 DLLs using TC++.

I like the IDE in BCPP45, so is there a command line compiler that I can download to compile my DLLs?

[parksie]

Why not get the free command line tools from Borland? 5.5 (32-bit) :)

[filburt1]

I thought you needed MS compilers to do DLLs. 'Kay. :)

[parksie]

Nope, you need a 32-bit Windows compiler ;)

Borland C++ builder is better than its C++ command line tool.
You can download it here

[parksie]

You shouldn't really post links like that ;)

But why is there a problem with command line tools?

[abdul]

It is a kind of hard to you and does not have an IDE.

I edited my post now and removed the link.;)

An IDE isn't the most necessary thing in the world ;)

All you need is just to go bcc32 main.cpp :) (well, with a couple more options, but you can make batch files, makefiles, and all sorts :)
