O.P. Huh?  Need help: __cdecl and __stdcall
Ok... I have a DLL written in VC++ that exports a function that uses the __cdecl calling convention and I want to call the function from a VB program. However VB uses the __stdcall calling convention so I can't use the DLL (actually I haven't tested that, but I'm sure I won't be albe to use the DLL).

So the question is: Is there anything I can do to force VB use the __cdecl calling convention? What can I do? Ideas?

I'd prefer not to modify the DLL code, because the DLL will be used by another program too, and it needs to stay as __cdecl. I've thought about making another DLL (in VC++) that exports a __stdcall function that calls the __cdecl one in the original DLL, however I'm not very good in VC++ and don't know how to call an exported function of a DLL :$.

Thanks for your help! :)
