Forums Developers C++ DLL Tutorial

does anyone have an url to a good tutorial for me?

am looking for writing c++ dll's for mIRC...

search many threads back, but the few links that were given were dead :-[

Perhaps this page?

Just put "C++ DLL Tutorial" into Google and all kinds of stuff pops up, most of them not deadlinks!

Regards,

was actually looking for one a little more specific for mIRC ;-]

There's a tutorial on mIRC DLLs using C++ by Necroman on mircscripts.org called Using and creating mIRC DLLs.

thnx, found the link in another thread but because mircscripts.org has been down the link died I think

found it now I know what is was called ;-]

Perhaps these search results from ms.org? I haven't looked at them myself.

Again though, by adding 'mIRC' to the end of your search term, Google should find something

Edit: Sheesh, a regular couple of Speedy Gonzalezes! The tutorial starbucks linked to is in those search results.

Regards,

thnx for both your help ;-]

only problem now is that I use Visual C++ .NET 2002 as an editor (the editor is better then VC++ 6 imho... things like line numbers, enhanced interface, intregrated MSDN...)
and the tutorial is for VC++ 6

Is it that different? The majority of code should be fine for virtually any compiler, and I'd imagine the menus etc. it mentions wouldn't be that different. I've never actually used any version of MSVC++ myself though so I really don't know for sure.

everything is somewhere else in .NET 2002...
the creation of project dialogs are totally different,
and also the property tabs...

so if you have a MSVC++ 6 tutorial it will make you search almost everywhere for the option you are looking for ;-P

in VS.NET go to Help->Show Start Page, then under the My Profile section, go to the Window Layout dropdown and select Visual C++ 6. that should clear up any confusion. (i think, i didn't use VS 6.0)

you can also set Visual C++ 6 for keyboard layout and C++ for help filter. or you can just select Visual C++ Developer for the Profile and it will automatically switch those other options for you.

hope that helps!
