What code samples are there. Or just what should i search msdn for in order
to find out how to do it. I just need to instantiate the activex dll then
call one function and get back a long value.

thanks

Use #import directive on your dll path i.e

#import "mydll.dll"

then you can use the compiler generated class wrappers to instantiate your
object and make the call i.e.

mydllnamespace::myobjectPtr p(__uuidof(mydllnamespace::myobject));
long l = p->mymethod(...);

Check out the docs on #import, there are a number of complier options you
shuold be aware of;

Hi, thanks for the info, i am looking into it. Initially I don't think that
it will work, because although I know the methods of the dll I don't know
the name. This dll will be called something different for each instance, i
need to instantiate it based on the prog id. Aren't there other commands
that let me instantiate activex dll's just based on the prog id.

JUST THIS ABOUT IT.

it's just like in VB with the Object Browser -
u don't see only one class definitions, but all classes defined in a dll.
