nonono I know your not telling me to change my code, I just want to start doing this .......... the right way... Anyways... so the header would be like

Code:

/*SecuritySuite.h*/
#ifndef _SecuritySuite_H_ 
#define _SecuritySuite_H_
/*____________________________________________
______________________________________________

Just the little functions.
______________________________________________
____________________________________________*/
int GetFileSize(std::string File)
/*____________________________________________*/
void Delete(std::string File)
/*____________________________________________*/
int GetDiskSize(std::string Dir)
/*____________________________________________*/
void DisplayOptions()
/*____________________________________________*/
void NotAvailable()
/*____________________________________________*/
bool CheckDriveLetterInput(std::string Dir, bool Loop)
/*____________________________________________*/
bool FileCheck(std::string File)
/*____________________________________________*/
bool RestartOption(std::string File,std::string Dir)
/*____________________________________________
______________________________________________

Now for the three main functions, almost identical to each other.
______________________________________________
____________________________________________*/
void SDCrestartTrue(std::string File, std::string Dir)
/*____________________________________________*/
void SDCrestartFalse(std::string File, std::string Dir)
/*____________________________________________*/
void SDCstart(std::string File, std::string Dir)
/*____________________________________________*/
#endif

You were helping me out... it was my choice to pursue your advice.

I feel glad that my posts were not 100% bad then

Yes, you can put all the functions or just those that you want to be acessible from other source files including the header. Then declare the functions again, this time with the code but on the file SecuritySuite.cpp. That way whenever you need to compile some source file that requires functions from SecurytySuite.cpp you just need to #include "SecuritySuite.h" and you're set to go.

P.S - don't forget the ; after the prototypes in the header file.

Cheers

Heh, I was able to compile it as a DLL

Congratulations bikr692002! And good luck with the continuation of the project

Cheers

Thanks, I'm trying to write a GUI... But I don't think that's finishing anytime soon

Wow, you're aiming quite high, i wish you all the luck, i have actually started writting one myself sometime ago but i ended up loosing motivation after a while.

Cheers
