cards.dll for C++

[Wahab]

I am programming a cards game using VC++ and I want to use cards.dll. I need to know which header header file is associated to that dll (so I can use it), and I also need documentation for the dll. Please reply about that, and if you know any other dll that is used for programming card games the feel free to send info about it.

Thanks.

Have you looked in the VC++ MSDN on-line help and do a search on "CARDS.DLL"? I am sure the entry exists, because I did a search and found the documentation on using this DLL, with examples included. I don't have the on-line help in front of me, but just search for
"CARDS.DLL", "CARDS32.DLL", or "CARD32.DLL". One of them will bring up the info.

HI,

I was browsing through the forum and, as this question interest me also, I searched through the July'99 edition of MSDN for it but found only some pages about using cards.dll in VB. After making a 'quick view' of cards.dll, I've found the following functions exported:

cdtAnimate, cdtDraw, cdtDrawExt, cdtInit and cdtTerm.

The problem is: how to find the correct declarations for these functions and also for some enums used by them?

Could you point the title of the page where you've found the information?

TIA

Hi.

One time, I posted this info.
Visual C++ 4 HOW-TO by Scott Stanfiedl has the sample code.
Page # is p.p 290-309.

Even though this uses cards.dll at Window95, this will gives us many hints.

This is found in MSDN in
MSDN Library Visual Studio ->
Books ->
Hardcore Visual Basic ->
Chapter 7: Painting Pictures ->
Deal Me In -> Card Functions.

The function prototypes are VB, but they are easily translated to C++. The Enums are in CARDS.BAS, but I don't have that file around. Maybe there is a sample on the Microsoft Website that has the defintions for the enums, or someone in the VB discussion group can let you know what the constants are.

Thanks for your replies. I will try the MSDN library suggested by Paul McKenzie, and I will take a look at the book suggested by Masaaki. I will keep you informed in case I found something new, or in case I have anotehr question!
