Fast Track Visual C++ 6.0 Programming
Linking to the New DLLFirst, we include the prototype for MultiplyByTwo() by including the DLL projects header file, DoublerDLL.h, in Doublers view. // DoublerView.cpp : implementation of the CDoublerView class // #include stdafx.h #include Doubler.h #include DoublerDoc.h #include DoublerView.h #include DoublerDLL.h ⇐ . . . Next, copy the actual DLL, DoublerDLL.dll, to the c:\windows\system directory so the Doubler program knows where to search for it. We also have to link the DoublerDLL.lib library file into Doubler so that our project knows how DoublerDLL.dll is structured. We link DoublerDLL.lib into the Doubler project by selecting the Settings item in the Project menu, which opens the Project Settings box, as shown in Figure 10.3.
Select the Link tab in the Project Settings box and enter .\DoublerDLL.lib in the Object/library modules box. This indicates that we want to link this new library. Click OK to close the Project Settings box. Copy DoublerDLL.lib to the Doubler directory (e.g., c:\avc\Doubler). Now were free to use MultiplyByTwo() as well as other library routines. Next, in OnFileDoublethevalues(), we place the newly doubled values in a formatted text string. void CDoublerView::OnFileDoublethevalues() { int value1 = 1; int value2 = 2; int result1 = MultiplyByTwo(value1); int result2 = MultiplyByTwo(value2); char FormattedString[80]; ⇐ wsprintf(FormattedString, 2 times %d is %d, 2 times %d is %d., value1, result1, value2, result2); ⇐ . . . } Then, we place that formatted string into a CString object named text in the document object and invalidate the view. void CDoublerView::OnFileDoublethevalues() { int value1 = 1; int value2 = 2; int result1 = MultiplyByTwo(value1); int result2 = MultiplyByTwo(value2); char FormattedString[80]; wsprintf(FormattedString, 2 times %d is %d, 2 times %d is %d., value1, result1, value2, result2); CDoublerDoc* pDoc = GetDocument(); ⇐ ASSERT_VALID(pDoc); ⇐ pDoc->text = FormattedString; ⇐ Invalidate(); ⇐ } To display the new text object stored in the document, we add this code to OnDraw(): void CDoublerView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { CDoublerDoc* pDoc = GetDocument(); ASSERT_VALID(pDoc); pDC->TextOut(0, 0, pDoc->text); ⇐ } Run Doubler now and select the Double the values item in the File menu. When you do, the new, doubled values are displayed, as shown in Figure 10.4. Now were using DLLs; our first example is a success. You can generalize the process from here, passing parameters to and returning values from DLL functions. AppWizard has made the process relatively simple. The code for this example, DoublerDLL.h and DoublerDLL.cpp, appears in Listing 10.1. DoublerView.h and DoublerView.cpp appear in Listing 10.2.
