Just getting started with Dev C++, and was hoping someone could direct me to where to find documentation and examples relating to using DLLs to access Windows API commands. I am very much a beginner, so a tutorial would be ideal.

As a starting point, you might want to create a DLL project generated by Dev-C++.
File->New->Project and choose Basic->DLL.
Here are some links to DLL related topics:

PS. You might want to use the search facility of the "Bloodshed Software forum". There are many threads about creating/using DLL's with Dev-C++/MingW.
Thanks, I have been looking at the API examples that come with Dev, and with the examples you have given hopefully I will figure out what I need.
Much appreciated!
