QTW 60 - Dynamically Linking to QuickTime for Windows (1-Aug-95)

Q We want to dynamically link our product to Quick Time for Windows. How can we do this?

A The QTW.LIB file contains static code, so you can't use it directly. Instead, you can write another DLL that links the needed QuickTime for Windows functions, and you can export the functions you need from your DLL. You can also use either the QuickTime VBX or the MCI driver provided with QuickTime for Windows 2.0 (if these solutions provide the functionality you need).

If you just need the QTW.LIB library, you can purchase the QuickTime/QuickTime for Windows 2.0 SDK CD, which is available from:
