Develop a C++ Executable and passing value to VB

[rplcmint]

I am making a C++ app and want to return a value to the calling program that I wrote in VB.

What APIs can I use to do this. Do I use the return method in C++ to do this. I am working with a C++ executable cause I don't know how to cut a DLL.

I appreciate your input.
