www.7-zip.org/download.html go to this link. download any of the compressed file. unzip it on your pc. go to util directory. open 7zMain.c file. read it carefully and if you fail to understand then hardly anything can be done for you.

Why are you posting in a question that is over four years old?

ouch, it is indeed 4 years old. And it was in the top. I didn't see the date :))))))

Why was it on top. I am totally confused.

You can use a (free) program called Depends to examine the exposed API of the dll you're trying to use. Use google to find the download.

The answer depends on too many things that you haven't mentioned about.

Assuming that it's a regular Win32 DLL, you could use LoadLibrary()[^] and GetProcAddress()[^] or you could just use the .lib file that came with the DLL (if there was one).

If it were a COM dll, you'd register it and use it like using any other COM component.

Please search for and read up articles on both topics. Explaining them in great detail is out of context for a forum post like this.
