We do exactly what you need to do, but we use ActiveX DLL's. This way you can say:
Code:
objWhatever = CreateObject("DLLName.ClassName")
I don't know enough about straight forward C++ to say this for certain, but I think you can achieve this by using a type library:
Code:
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
// IMainForm
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
[
odl,
uuid(06CFF40F-A63B-11D3-8476-00E029423382),
version(1.0),
dual,
nonextensible,
oleautomation
]
interface IMainForm : IDispatch {
[id(0x01), propget]
HRESULT Window([out, retval] IWindow** retval);
};
In the simple example above, I think that the use of the word "oleautomation" makes this class creatable with VB's "CreateObject" function.
Hope this helps.

On second thought, I'm totally wrong. You cannot create an object using a TLB.
The fact is that the DLL is not a COM object, so you would not be able to use it dynamically in VB, only staticly.

The problem is: The dll's are not mine..!
I'll see what I can come up with... and perhaps I'll just write a c++ dll that will call the dll's for me... that way it should work (I hope)
