Hi,
I do not think that you can implement the dll in VB because of the way it
needs to export 'proper' C style interfaces. I think it does depend on the
version of VB you use however version 5 and 6 will only export a COM dll,
therefore it only exposes an IDispatch interface which is then used by COM
to access the individual exported methods. VB will not give 'proper' C style
exports for all your functions.
I am afraid that there are things that you just have to do in C++.
Sorry to burst the bubble.
