windows.h is a source code header file that Microsoft provides for the development of programs that access the Windows API (WinAPI) via C language syntax. It declares the WinAPI functions, associated data types and common macros. Access to WinAPI can be enabled for a C or C++ program by including it into a source file: #include <windows.h>
A COM object can be created without type library information; with only a path to the DLL file and CLSID. A client can use the COM DLL function DllGetClassObject with the CLSID and IID_IClassFactory to create an instance of a factory object. The client can then use the factory object's CreateInstance to create an instance. [19]
MSVCIRT.DLL – Microsoft C++ Library, contains the deprecated C++ classes from <iostream.h> (note the file extension) for MS C 9 and 10 (MSVC 2.x, 4.x) (Back then, the draft C++ Standard Library was integrated within MSVCRT.DLL. It was split up with the release of Visual C++ 5.0)
The C standard library, sometimes referred to as libc, [1] is the standard library for the C programming language, as specified in the ISO C standard. [2] Starting from the original ANSI C standard, it was developed at the same time as the C POSIX library, which is a superset of it. [3]
Often, a Windows dynamic-link library (DLL) has the file extension .dll, [17] although sometimes different extensions are used to indicate general content, e.g. .ocx for a OLE library. A .lib file can be either a static library or contain the information needed to build an application that consumes the associated DLL. In the latter case, the ...
A common and troublesome problem occurs when a newly installed program overwrites a working system DLL with an earlier, incompatible version. Early examples of this were the ctl3d.dll and ctl3dv2.dll libraries for Windows 3.1 : Microsoft-created libraries that third-party publishers would distribute with their software, but each distributing ...
In Microsoft Windows, a resource is an identifiable, read-only chunk of data embedded in an executable file—specifically a PE file. Files that contain resources include: EXE, DLL, CPL, SCR, SYS and MUI files. [1] [2] [3] The Windows API provides a computer program access to resources.
Dynamic-link library, or DLL, is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.These libraries usually have the file extension DLL, OCX (for libraries containing ActiveX controls), or DRV (for legacy system drivers).
