Hi, let me to ask for help.

I have a Win32 window that has a button.

If I click on the button the program automatically creates native window DLL via Microsoft or another compiler like for example Ming.

The DLL will be created from a file MyDLL.cpp format.

Is this below correct ?

SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo;
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = NULL;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = hWnd;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\Common7\\Tools\\VsDevCmd.bat";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "cl.exe /D_USRDLL /D_WINDLL C:\\MyDLL.cpp C:\\MyDLL.def /link /DLL /OUT:MyDLL.dll";
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_MAXIMIZE;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;

ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);

Thank you !

You misunderstood the concept of a dll. It is a binaries which provides some functionality. For that you write code which gets in the dll and is executed by dll loading app.

Read here some Microsoft documentation about dll.

If you want to batch build a dll project you take a dive into the platform tools of Microsoft.

Solution 1

Couple of things.

1) What is a "standard window DLL" - if you mean a native DLL file, then that's just a case of using the command line to compile and link your source to a DLL.

2) Why would anything be created from a TXT file? What happens if there are compilation problems?

3) And finally, it doesn't quite work like that.
We do not do your work for you.
If you want someone to write your code, you have to pay - I suggest you go to Freelancer.com and ask there. But be aware: you get what you pay for. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

If i get monkey by paying peanut, i would start that business. By the catching monkey is not an option

Do you want monkeys writing your code? Remember an infinite number of peanuts is still going to add up to a significant cost!

I was thinking of getting monkey for peanut to sell :D
I am not expecting monkey to write my code :)
