Place the functions that you want to share in an extra DLL and import that DLL from both of your application exe files. That is the usual way of sharing functions.

If you just want to share a couple of small functions, the use of a static library (object library) might be an alternative that is easier to maintain.

If you are using COM then it is possible. Other way is hooking. See if this[^] helps.

Solution 1

You need some form of IPC to call a function of another executable (while DLLs are mapped into the calling process address space).
You may implement a COM out-of-process component, for the purpose.
