don't you call a win32 library within a console program ? TOXCCT >>> GEII power [toxcct][VisualCalc]

Friend! That .lib file is already there, no problem with that. My problem is that i wanna access the external application's (in which .lib of my project was included already)function from my project. now, r u clear with my problem? if yes, suggest some remedy for it; if possible. Usman Arif

Here's an example. This is in your header file. You will need to change the obvious defines etc to suit your own app. #ifdef MYCLASS_EXPORTS #define MYCLASSDDLL __declspec(dllexport) #else #define MYCLASSDDLL __declspec(dllimport) #ifdef _DEBUG //linkage #pragma comment (lib, "myclass_db.lib") #else #pragma comment (lib, "myclass.lib") #endif #endif // // class definition // class MYCLASSDLL CMyClass { } CodeBeetle.Com

You might also want to be careful that if you did store the address, you don't try to use it after the class is destroyed.

If you don't post any code, we won't be able to help you... And what do you mean by: Usman Arif wrote: i have initialised a constructor of that class using that pointer, but, in a member function of the class whose header contains the declaration of the pointer and by: Usman Arif wrote: whose pointer variable has been defined already in the header file :doh::doh: If you have an exception that is thrown, it means that your pointer is probably invalid (pointing to 0xcccccc or 0x00000 or something like that...). Have you tried to use the debugger ?
