Having looked at petzolds book and the msdn section on DLLs, I still cannot figure out the proper way on exporting methods. I know that you include __declspec(dllexport) after "class" but before the class name, however, do I need to do the same when I define my functions individually?
for various reasons that are explained in chapter 1 of any COM book, I don't ever export classes. What I usually do is create an exported C function:
IStandard *GetNewObject(char *name, int version);
where IStandard is a class with only pure virtual functions
AddRef()
ReleaseRef()
QueryInterface()
QueryInterface returns a pointer to a particular base class with more specific methods.
This probably makes no sense to you but hey, that's what I do anyway.
