ActiveX from VB

[J Lindroos]

If I make a DLL in VB Let's say with a class with this functions in:

Public Variable As Integer

Public Function Func1(Param As Integer) As String
...
End Function

How do I use the DLL and the class in C++?

It's debatable whether it particularly works in VC++, but...

First, make sure that the VB ActiveX DLL is registered. Then, copy it to your source directory. Use the following code:

#import <dllname.dll>

And then build it.

Hopefully VC should generate some include files for you containing all the necessary code to interface with the DLL.

Note: when using DLLs it's nearly always best to make them in C++ and call from VB using Declare than to do it this way round.
