That's true.
Anyway, you know, there are two ways to do it (and implicit DLL load is the load-time linking with the DLL).
[added]
Well, maybe I got you: for a VB DLL you haven't neither the .lib nor the the .h file needed to
compiler your project for implicit loading (and I don't remember if #import directive may help).

Hii
Thanks for replying..I am having one DLL in VB for my project Concern.
But i dont how to import DLL's in VC++.When i am doing like that what i mentioned in last message it is not possible to get functions from dll.
So please will you tell me how can i get the functions from the VB dll to vc program.
Please help me out I am trying from two days but i am not getting solution please tell me..I am using loadlibrary and getprocaddress like this:
typedef BOOL (WINAPI* ptr_func1)(BSTR* bstr,BSTR* bstr1,BSTR* bstr2,BSTR* bstr3,BSTR* bstr4);
ptr_func1 ProcessingInformation = NULL;
HINSTANCE hLib;
hLib = LoadLibrary(_T("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\My Projects\\BoolDate\\SampleDll.dll"));
if (hLib == NULL)
{
MessageBox(_T("Unable to load .dll"), NULL, MB_ICONERROR);
}
else
{
ProcessingInformation = (ptr_func1)GetProcAddress(hLib,
_T("ProcessingInformation"));
CString str;
BSTR server,usr,pwd,Temp,Temp3;
BOOL bstr;
Temp=SysAllocString(L"21\8\2008");
str=Temp;
MessageBox(str);
Temp3=SysAllocString(L"21\7\2008");
str=Temp3;
MessageBox(str);
server=SysAllocString(L"savitri");
str=server;
MessageBox(str);
usr=SysAllocString(L"root");
str=usr;
MessageBox(str);
pwd=SysAllocString(L"base");
str=pwd;
MessageBox(str);
/* The actual call to the function contained in the dll */
bstr = ProcessingInformation(&Temp,&Temp3,&server,&usr,&pwd);
MessageBox("Gettting BSTR Value");
str.Format("%d",bstr);
MessageBox(str);
SysFreeString(Temp);
SysFreeString(Temp3);
SysFreeString(server);
SysFreeString(usr);
SysFreeString(pwd);
/* Release the Dll */
FreeLibrary(hLib);
}
Please tell me what is wrong with this code.Now i am not getting any errors in compiling time but in run time i am one error message box like send error and don't send..
Please Help me.I need your help very much.
Thanks In Advance,
Savitri

Does the DLL load successfully?
Also did you check that functions that you are calling are exported from the DLL
BTW on which line do you encounter the crash
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Hi I just checked by creating ActiveXDLL project in VB.
I don't think you can use it using LoadLibrary().
You have to use
#import "YourDll.dll" no_namespace
Sample Code:
CoInitialize(NULL);
_Class1Ptr class1;
class1.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Class1));
short i=10,k=20;
int ans = class1->add(&i,&k);
class1.Release();
CoUninitialize();
It works properly.
I hope it helps
Regards,
Sandip.

Hi Sandip,
I used like this but i am getting errors..I am writting like this:
::CoInitialize(NULL);
//note this change after taking out the no_namespace macro
//if there is no namespace then also the progid has to be __uuidof(VbDll::CVbDll) like this
SampleDll::_FunctionClass sample;
HRESULT hr=sample.CreateInstance(__uuidof(SampleDll::_FunctionClass)); //here the progid is VbDll::CVbDll)
//not just CVbDll
//sample.AddRef();
BSTR server,usr,pwd,Temp,Temp3;
BOOL bstr;
Temp=SysAllocString(L"21\8\2008");
str=Temp;
MessageBox(str);
Temp3=SysAllocString(L"21\7\2008");
str=Temp3;
MessageBox(str);
server=SysAllocString(L"savitri");
str=server;
MessageBox(str);
usr=SysAllocString(L"root");
str=usr;
MessageBox(str);
pwd=SysAllocString(L"base");
str=pwd;
MessageBox(str);
BOOL bstrMyString;//=TRUE;
//check for the instance
bstrMyString=sample.ProcessingInformation(&Temp,&Temp3,&server,&usr,&pwd);
str.Format("%d\n", bstrMyString);
MessageBox(str, "MyString aus VB", MB_OK);
sample.Release();
::CoUninitialize();
It is giving errors...

Dont pass _FunctinClass
use SampleDll::FunctionClass.
Also You are using
SampleDll::_FunctionClass sample;
Here you need use
SampleDll::_FunctionClassPtr sample;
Just check my post again.
BTW
Use Code block button below posting area for code blocks it is very difficult to read your code otherwise.

Sandip.

Did you try to debug? At what line the error occurs? Do you have the source of the VB DLL?

Hii,
My VB Code:
Public Function ProcessingInformation(Date1 As String, Date2 As String, ServerName As String, Username As String, Password As String) As Boolean
If Date1 <> "" Then
ProcessingInformation = True
Else
ProcessingInformation = False
End If
End Function
this is dll called SampleDll and module FunctionClass
please tell me how to use this dll in VC++..please this is very fewer for me.
Thanks in advance,
Savitri

I dont know much about VB
But i think the function you exporting should be defined in Class Module. are you doing that.
You can open your dll in "Dependency walker" and check if you can see your function there.

Sandip.

Hii Sandip,
Ya when returning value from dll it is in -VE so it is giving error.
I am not getting what is wrong with my program. please tell me.

if (hLib == NULL)
{
MessageBox(_T("Unable to load .dll"), NULL, MB_ICONERROR);
}
else
{
ProcessingInformation = (ptr_func1)GetProcAddress(hLib,
_T("ProcessingInformation"));
CString str;
BSTR server,usr,pwd,Temp,Temp3;

SysFreeString(Temp);
SysFreeString(Temp3);
SysFreeString(server);
SysFreeString(usr);
SysFreeString(pwd);
/* Release the Dll */
FreeLibrary(hLib);
please help me out.

Did you check my post above Import[^]
I think you cant use LoadLibrary().
I have given sample code in post above.

Right click a project and select "Set as startup project".
