QTW 07 - QTW.LIB Use with Other Windows Developer Environments (1-May-95)

Q We would like to use the QTW.LIB library with a LISP environment for Windows. Are the QT DLLs self-contained, and does the QTW.LIB do anything else than defines the DLL interface? If each of the QTW functions exist in a public or exported form in the DLLs I could make use of the functions from my development environment.

A The QTW.LIB file contains static code, so in this case you can't directly use the library. Instead you could write another DLL that links in the needed QTW functions, and you could then export the functions needed from this other DLL.

Another solution is to either use the QuickTime VBX or the MCI driver provided with QTW 2.0, assuming these two solutions provide the functionality you need.
