You cannot export a class explicitely (or at least not that way). Why do you want to load the dll explicitely ? Just load it implicitely (put the lib in the project settings like you did and add the header and source file of your class to your project). And that's it. Do you have the source file of your class ?

I think COne you mentioned earlier is exported class.
Let implicit linking be there, and you can use it directly,but make sure dll is in projects directory,or windows directory, where it can be searched by system.
And before posting make sure , you read this throughly .

Is it not possible to instantiate the imported class and callin its functions with explicit linking?

No (as I already said before). When you load a dll explicitely, you first 'load' the dll with LoadLibrary but that doesn't imply anything. You have just loaded the dll in memory, next you need to retrieve the address of a function by calling GetProcAddress so that you can call a function from inside your dll. See, how are you gonna 'get' your class that way ??
Why don't you simply go with implicit linking ? It is much more easier to do and everything is managed for you. What is the problem there ?

You can't export a class directly, you can can make a wrapper to do a similar thing. Inside the dll you would need to instead export a function which would initialise the class for you and return a pointer to it.

Thank you so much. This is the solution for which i have been asking for.
One again thank you waldermort.

Ok i did it and got the pointer of the class form dll exported function.
Now how to call the member functions of that class?
Note: we are linking the dll by LoadLibrary(explicitly) only.

All,
I am working on ATL COM DLL and I am writing a DLL which exposes few interfaces to the application. These interfces can be called either from the VBScript or C++ routine. Any rules which i need to follow especially for having a parameter[[IN], [OUT]. As every one knows that VBScript has data type limitations and we can't pass all the parameters as like in normal. For example the IN and OUT parameter will be used to send and receive values from the interfce and should always be having a VARIANT* data type.
For example:
1. STDMETHODIMP CXX::FUNC_XX( BYTE bnl,BYTE bCurrCl,VARIANT* vSData,BOOL boFlag, SHORT *pRetVal)
2. STDMETHODIMP CXXX::FUNC1_XXX(VARIANT* vReconfig,SHORT *pRetVal)
Please let me know if any one is having suggestions or sample ATL COM DLL which can be called from VBScript.
Thanks,
AKS

hi aks,
Variant are used for Automation, so after creating the ATL Dll just compile that DLL.
and create an instance of the Dll in VBScript. and pass the the Arugments from the VBScript.
VARIANT is used for that purpose only it is used for Purely Automation Purpose.
good luck.

im using VisualStudio2005 and everytime i hit F5 to compile VS is compiling all files for the project instead of just the files i have modified! - has anyone come across this before?
I was thinking that some where alongthe lines a file like stdafx.h was getting modified causing
the knock on effect to compile the whole project but i am not changing this or similar files!

The usual cause for that situation is one of your files (or a header file in your include path) has had its last-modified timestamp changed to a date in the future.

all error are related to first error. Locate 'NewMenu.h' and include it appropriately.
