Using exported varible from dll
-
Hi, I have exported dll from dll. I load dll using loadlibrary api. Using GetProceAddress I can get exported function pointer. But how can I use exported dll. __declspec(dllimport) only works when I link through .lib but in LoadLibrary? Thanks

This way [^].

You don't need
_declspec(dllimport)when you use explicitDLLlinking (i.e.LoadLibrary). Actually, when you use explicitDLLlinking, you don't need the library header file at all. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

[My articles]Sir, Thanks for your quick response. I want to import data. Suppose I exported data from dll using this way __declspec(dllexport) long g_lValue. How can I access it using explicit dll linking. Thanks

Why don't you (write and) export the accessors (i.e.
get/setfunctions) of your integer variable? :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

[My articles]Sir, I can do this by writing get/set functions. I want to know this only It is possible or not.

Yes, it is possible. :-D

How can I do it Sir?
For instance: (DLL header)
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif
extern DLLTEST_API int iExported;
#ifdef __cplusplus
};
#endif(DLL source)
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif
DLLTEST_API int iExported;
#ifdef __cplusplus
};
#endif(DLL client)
//...
int * pInt =(int *) GetProcAddress(hLib, "iExported");:)

Thanks Sir, It worked.
You're welcome. :)
