I want to access some classes/functions that are stored in a lib file. How do I do that? Do I just set up my project so that it is linked to the lib file (that didn't seem to work)? and then I can just #include any header from that lib file (just like normal). Or are there additional things I need to do before I can access what is in the lib file?

Just linking the lib file to your project, the way differs from compiler to compiler. And then just include the header file yes :)
There's nothing more to it :)
so if my lib file is called "LibFile.lib" and there is a class in that lib file named "ClassInLib.h" then I would link my project to the lib file, and then just #include "ClassInLib.h" anytime I wanted to use that class correct? I'm asking these reduntant questions because for some reason this simple taskis not working...
what compiler are you using?
I only know it for borland...and i think you have to make a project and have all the headers and files in there.
Just link to the library, include the header file for the library, and use the classes/functions of the lib normally in your project.
