[C++] Conditional DLL Loading

[craziscoth]

Hi,

I have this application I am developing to run on both WinXP Embedded and WinXP Pro and it uses the EWF functionality of WinXP Embedded. When it runs on XPe I need the ewfapi.dll loaded, but when I run on XPpro, it won't run because the dll is not there. Is there a way to keep the dll from trying to load when the app runs on XPpro so that the application will still run without the EWF functionality?

Thanks.

Well I figured this one out using the LoadLibrary() function and checking to see if it was NULL.

Seems whenever I post a question to a forum, even though I've spend hours trying to find the answer beforehand, I find the answer elsewhere within an hour or two of my post and before anyone can reply to my post with an answer.

Yup... that's a common occurence with me as well.

Glad to know you solved your problem.

I think thats part of the same mysterious force that makes working code exhibit bugs as soon as you show it to someone else.

Or like the one where computer problems go away the moment you ask someone for help...
