importing functions from DLL and making them global

[WiKiDJeFF]

I'm trying to import function from a DLL and make them global in my application. I can import them into one .cpp file, but then how do I let all the other files access the same functions? I can't make them external from within the .cpp. Do I have to import them into every single .cpp individually?

You can import them within a header file I think..... then again I never use DLLs

I don't want to use an import library though, so I have to import them from within a function.

Hi friend,

In a function import the function. Include the file where required. Call the function when required.
I think its easy.
Try and tell me if it happens..

If you mean by GetProcAddress, you can make the function pointer you assign to global across all files. E.g. for UpdateWindow:

main.cpp:
void (WINAPI *ptrUpdateWindow)(HWND);

// Later:
ptrUpdateWindow = GetProcAddress(...);


some.h:
extern void (WINAPI *ptrUpdateWindow)(HWND);

and you can use it everywhere you include some.h.
