All I need for VB is a DLL. The problem I am having is that it seems VC++ requires a .DEF (definition) file to identify the export library...which somehow creates a DLL that will work with VB.
DevC++ doesn't allow me to select a DEF file by name or setup any scripting inside...it does generate a DEF file for me.
So, I am hoping someone who has used DevC++ to write a DLL for VB will see this and give me the missing clue.
Thanks,

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I found a thread discussing the creation of dlls for visual basic with the cygwin compiler. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01200.html
The cygwin compiler is very similar to the default Dev-C++ compiler (mingw). If that does not work, you could try using the cygwin compiler with Dev-C++.
Anyway, I hope that helps.

I have found many resources to do the following:
1. Create DLL with DevC++ for C++.
2. Create DLL with VC++ for Visual Basic/C++.
I need info on creating a DLL with Dev-C++ that can be used by Visual Basic 6.0. Information or ideas would be most useful.

What files do you need in order to use a DLL with VB?
