Using visual C++ 2008 express edition I'm trying to have multiple CPP files in a single project. I'll explain exactly what I'm trying to do.

The 'DarkGDK' procedure held in a CPP file called 'main.cpp' which calls several functions which are held in a separate CPP file called 'functions.cpp'.

How can I get this to work?

Create a header file containing the prototypes of those functions, and #include this in source files you want to call the functions from. Example:

otherfile.h


otherfile.cpp


After #including otherfile.h in main.cpp you can then call MyFunction.

To add the source to the project ...
...In the Solution Explorer tab, there is a folder called Source Files. Right click that, select Add, Add existing item and navigate to the source file that you want to add. Do the same for the include file using the Header Files folder.

Be aware that you must either disable precompiled headers for that source, or add the line "#include "stdafx.h" if you are using precompiled headers. I'm not sure if GDK uses them.

I know I was sometimes WAY OFF in the networking thing - (never really did the udp thing yet - but that's a favorite thread of mine now)

And I'm not sure - how much you have done yet with mixing multiple files into one project like the replies explain, but I personally have had a heck of a time (more than once) getting circular references to compile corectly.

Each include file I have has the #pragma once directive, and sometimes I have to put an empty class declaration high up in the code - so that two classes are arware of each other:
