Where is Lib File?

Re: Where is Lib File? [modified]

11-Jul-06 23:10

Hi,

I am creating a Win32 DLL, using VS.NET. I build the project and want to use functions from dll, but i am wondering where is the .lib file. the dll file is there in debug folder of project.

any pointer will be helpful

Thanks in advance

there may not be one, a dll is a dynamic library and a lib is a static library.

also a .lib file can be a type library for a .dll

1)how can we confirm that it do not generate any lib file?
2)Whether that means you cannot statically link?

1) If there is no .lib file after you compile then it is not being generated
2) You cannot statically link to a dll (or at least not easily)

When you create the project for a DLL, you can specify whether you want to produce the .lib file too (export symbols checkbox) but i can't remember how you modify an existing project to do this.

see Property Pages / Configuration Properties / Linker / Advanced. put the path to the file you want to create in the field labeled "Import Library" (ex. "./Debug/MyDLL.lib")

The word "multi." They both imply more than one thread.

Hi All,
Can someone provide a good link that relates to the designing and development of code for creating efficient user interfaces.(Only Win32)
I tried googling for the same without any satisfactory results.
Some good articles on codeproject or some where else.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Sometimes it difficult to define efficent. i have experienced in many cases where i have to change the efficent UI( from functional and user point of view), but customer does'nt need that UI.
I know it sound silly, but just designed what customer wants Smile | :)

Whats DigStatic CDialog and do you incldue h file and if this isnt your answer can you show your code that has error,please
I see you include #include "Digistatic.h" in digitaldlg.h
wheres class CDigistatic(i think i had like this error already)

whitesky

Abhi Lahare11-Jul-06 22:21

11-Jul-06 22:21

In your .h file
you must have deleted the enum

something like this
// Dialog Data
enum { IDD = IDD_MYAPP_DIALOG };

where IDD_MYAPP_DIALOG is a dialog box template

#include "Digistatic.h"<br />

The error came from the "DigStatic" class not from the CDigitalDlg. Plz show the header of DigStatic class

yes my guess is DigStatic
