Hi,

You can find much info from google.com.cn by using key words "mixing C and C++".

when using C++ style function in *.c file, you'll need to do a "C"-style function in the CPP file in order to to link it.

e.g. in CPP

extern "C" void CreateForm (void)

{

Form *frm = new Form();

}

then in main.c

extern void CreateForm (void);

int main ()

{

CreateForm ()

}

FYI.
