to be created. Then click the [OK] button.

④ Select “dialog base” as the type of the application to be created in “step 1,” and click the

[EXIT] button.

A source code to display a dialog box where only [OK] and [CANCEL] pushbuttons exist is

created.

6.3.2.2 Definition of DLL Call

① Include “motocom.h” attached to the MOTOCOM32 application using the dialog class source file

(TestDig.cpp). Also include the header file, “direct.h,” as the sample source as shown below.

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "Test.h"

#include "TestDlg.h"

#include <direct.h> <------Add this line.

#include "motocom.h" <------Add this line.

② Copy the “motocom32.lib” file, the “motocom.h” file and the data transmission function (Windows

DLL file type, file name: Motocom32.DLL and Motolk.DLL, Motolkr.Dll

) to the directory where

the project exists.

③ Click the “Build” and then the “Setting” buttons, and open the “link” tab in the “Set Project” dialog

box. Specify the “motocom32.lib” file in the “Object/Library Module” setting column, and click

the [OK] button.

The MOTOCOM32 functions can be used in the file where “motocom.h” is included.
