im sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but this is what i need to know...
what is the command within a DLL (using C++) that will allow it to be called by its command?

please help, if this is the wrong place to post, i'll post in another forum.

thanks

[EDIT] Is it "dll.call"? if it is, how would i use that, i'm not using anything but the <iostream> or <windows.h> programs, so nothing extra.

thanks again.

No, its not dll.call - whatever that is.

Assuming your refering to exporting functions, so that they will be availiable from another DLL or executable, you need something like :

__declspec(dllexport) for exporting functions

and __declspec(dllimport) for importing them - these are usually set in headers, like :

#ifdef DATAENTRY_EXPORTS
#define DATAENTRY_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DATAENTRY_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
