Hello!
I'm using a DLL in my project (not created by me), and I would like to load it statically, because I heard somewhere that it is easier to load statically than dynamically? I have the .lib and the DLL, but I don't know how to load them and use the functions contained within. Please can someone help, if they know how this is done.
Thanks!

Basically, you add the .lib to your imported libraries, include the .h, and you're set. You can then use the functions as if they were completely normal functions.

What do you mean?Basically, you add the .lib to your imported libraries, include the .h, and you're set.
Among the project options, there's a place where you can add .lib files. It goes by different names in different IDEs. By adding the DLL's import library there, the functions become available like other functions - all you then need is their declarations. That's what the library header is for.
