I'm looking for a simple example how to create a DLL library on Windows with WxWidgets.
I need use some wxWidgets API on DLL and it'll called from Delphi.
There is the "dll" sample showing how to do it in your wxWidgets directory or you can view it online at https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/tree/v3.1.0/samples/dll
I think the easiest way is to install the free Visual C++ Express Edition, compile the DLL with that (Visual Studio project files are provided with WxWidgets). If it still works like in the old days, then you will also have to import the library for use in delphi with with the implib command.

I am using writing in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2013 and trying to use the debuger for code in a DLL that is outside of the working directory. The dll is a c++ project and the main app is a VB project.
How do I do that? In c++ it seems to be straight forward but not with VB.
Below is purely for background. I am interested in the question above in general and this is just the latest manifestation.
The full story: I am trying to debug the VB program and a DLL written in C++. I copied the the DLL into the working directory of the VB exe directory. But it gives me a tool tip at the break point in the DLL source code that reads "breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document." I am trying to figure out if that fixes the problem. If it does, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
Pehaps you should p-invoke (enter link description here) to make a call and import that .dll. The other option would be to register dll in gac and make wrapper com for your library.
You should also add the library to your .NET application as follows:
xcopy "$(SolutionDir)DLL\$(ConfigurationName)"\*.dll "$(TargetDir)"*.* /Y
Project-->Properties-->Compile-->Build Events-->Post-build event command line pass the command.
I have a dll file that has been created and compiled with C++ under Windows and I unfortunately don't have the source code for it.
This dll file is working well with a .NET program compiled with visual studio.
I want to know if this is possible to import this dll file with mono, and execute it under a UNIX environment.
This dll file is sending some Smartcard APDU instructions.
Most probably no. Binaries are platform specific.
You can always try to disassemble it on Windows and try to compile the disassembled code on unix, however I think it's not worth it.
How can i store multiple .ico files into a .DLL file that can be opened and read from just like SHELL32.dll.
i am using it for a few .ico files that i am making that a few of my friends might want to use also, and it would be much nicer to use a .dll like SHELL32.dll.
i have:
office 2007 (the built in VB)
Visual studio 2010 express
i might still have some old verstion
of BASIC (command prompt programming)
i have windows 7 home premium 64bit
Create a DLL project in VS10. Edit resources. Add as many icons as you want.
Visual Studio should have a resource compiler that can bundle icons into exe or dll formats. You could probably use a wizard of some kind to create a new dll project, and then just stuff that with the icons.
Visual Studio Express might not be as capable. As an alternative, if you are up for it, MinGW has a resource editor, and MinGW is free.
I am not sure about the limited resource editing capabilities of VS2010 express, as I remember it was painful to add version information to resources under C++ Express Edition.
My quick research resulted in GConvert to be a suitable program that is unfortunately not free.
You could do that very easily using resource compiler tools like Resource Hacker or Resource Tuner. You can save them in .dll or .res formats
I have my sources split up in several directories, so for each directory I get back a DLL. Is it possible to create a DLL from several other DLL's ?
EDIT: I'm using C++ with Windows CE Platform Builder 6.0 ( it's not managed )
There is no tool that will do this automatically for native code DLLs. You would have create a new DLL and add the existing source code to that project. However, doing this is likely to require changes to the source code.
Use ILMerge
Here you can download this.
Here is Sample for implementation.
You can't create one DLL from multiple DLLs. Any such tool would be awkward since each DLL could have it's own DllMain.
You CAN create a DLL from multiple static libraries though. It shouldn't be too hard to reconfigure your setup that way.
i want comile a my c++ program using .NETFRAMEWORK libraries only at command prompt.how can i do this ??
Download the free Visual C++ Express tools from Microsoft and use the C++/CLI language (based on C++ but allows access to the whole .Net Framework) and go from there.
Basically, you're talking about Visual C++. As for using the command prompt, once you have a working program you should just be able to use something like:
cl MyProgram.cs /clr
with any other relevant options, and be up and running. If that doesn't help, give a more specific question.
