RE: Using DLLs generated by BlackBox

Greg,

Thanks. I just did the explicit linkage just to make sure
it works. It did.

So what this means is I must create in the header file, released
with the dll, source code that looks something like:

typedef UINT (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC1)(DWORD,UINT);
static HINSTANCE hLib;
static LPFNDLLFUNC1 f1;
static LPFNDLLFUNC1 f2;
...
LoadMe()
{
        hLib = LoadLibrary...
        f1 = GetProcAddress...
        f2 = GetProcAddress...
        ...
};
and force the user to call LoadMe() before access to any of the
f1.. functons. This is all very ugly so, yes, I do also hope they
will produce the .lib files.

-Doug
