If I understand the process correctly now. The best way of getting a 3rd party DLL to work in DarkBASIC Professional, is to create a C++ DLL, that calls the third party DLL, and create a bunch of C++ functions that basically just reference the 3rd party functions. Stick all of the c++ functions into a resource.rc file and embed that file into the compiled c++ DLL file. Is that essentially correct?

Essentially, yes. You may need to do some conversion or hold some behind-the-scenes data as well, but that's basically it.
