I feel pretty stupid...

...but I'll have to ask anyway :) How to I import functions from a dll that don't have name decoration? If I do a
__declspec(dllimport) void __stdcall MyFuncI get something like__imp__MyFunc@4, if I do aextern "C" void __stdcall MyFuncI get C name decoration:_MyFunc@4and all this results in unresolved external symbols. The Win32 API does it by I can't get it to work... anyone plz?Cheers,

Look up stdcall (or maybe __stdcall). Basically it's PASCAL calling conventions that Win32 uses. Draw your own conclusions re. the history of Windows (though that its linker initially needed a switch to _obey_ case sensitivity rules might be a hint :-) ).

Originally, I intended to link to the DLL statically (at compile time), but it turned out to be slightly more tricky than I thought, so I had to fall back on a wrapper class that links to it at run-time, as you suggest it. :|
