    Calling functions between two different projects

    Hi,
    I made a solution using MSVS .NET 2003 that contain two projects. I was wondering if there was a way to call functions or use classes contained in 1 of the project from the other project. Thanks

    Include the files which contain the functions/classes in the other project. Then in the file which you want to call/create these functions/classes, just include the appropriate header file.

    That makes sense. I tried that but I get some problem.
    Let me exlain:
    Project A is an MFC project that I did not code.
    Project B is also MFC dialog based and is a sort of abstract that makes a parent window and then should spawn multiple project A as child windows and control these windows.

    Now project B should be general enough to allow spawning and control of other projects as well. I therefore need a way to use the constructor and create project A without having to import all the files from project A into project B.

    I tried just including the main files as quoted above, that is use #include on the header files and add these files to project B but I get linker errors all over the place.

    Any thoughts on the matter would be really appreciated. Thanks
