exporting classes in a DLL

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am familiar with creating lean and mean WIN32 DLLS and exporting C functions via a DEF file (or cconv decorators), but I am wndering how I can export my C++ objects from my DLLs?

Ideally, I would be able to use the classes (and their methods) by calling the objects and invoking their methods - is this possible, given the fact that the C++ compiler decorates names ?

looking forward to an informed answer -tkx
