Re: [Plib-users] using plib with qt

Laura,

         Hello and welcome to the PLIB community.

         I don't have Qt on my machine but I can 
tell you how things are defined on my Windows XP 
box with MSVC 6.0.  I selected the "go to the 
definition of LoadLibrary" and find the following.

<quote>
#define LoadLibrary  LoadLibraryA
</quote>

Tracking back:

<quote>
WINBASEAPI
HMODULE
WINAPI
LoadLibraryA(
     LPCSTR lpLibFileName
</quote>
     );
<quote>
typedef CONST CHAR *LPCSTR, *PCSTR;
</quote>

<quote>
#define CONST               const
</quote>

<quote>
typedef char CHAR;
</quote>

So it looks like Windows/MSVC defines the 
argument simply to be a "const char *".  Did you 
put the "*" in your explicit cast?
