third party Lib's dll's and Header files

[robertad2828]

Hello,

I am new to programming. I am working on a project that has third party Lib's dll's and Header files. I am suppose to call the functions in the dll files.with this being said do I still need to make CPP files for the headers??? or just have a main CPP?

No, you need to add the libs according to the dlls to your project.

just have a main CPP?

you always need main() if you want an executable file (if it's not a dll or other lib)
