DLL function loading issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I have an issue with loading a function from my DLL.

here is the DLL *.cpp file :
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) LPTSTR GetString(int Index)
{
LPTSTR res="";
LoadString(GetModuleHandle(NULL),Index, res, sizeof(res));
return(_T(res));
}

here is my class which should load the DLL and open the function :
*.cpp file :
HINSTANCE CARDLLWrapper::InitializeLoc(CString DLLName)
{
m_hlibLoc=LoadLibrary(DLLName);
if (m_hlibLoc != NULL)
{
LocGetString = (LPTSTR)GetProcAddress(m_hlibLoc, TEXT("GetString"));
return m_hlibLoc;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
/------------------
*.h file
class CARDLLWrapper
{
private:
static LPTSTR (*LocGetString)(long);
static HINSTANCE m_hlibLoc;
CString GetResStr(long Index);

public:
HINSTANCE InitializeLoc(CString DLLName);
void TerminateLoc();
CString STR(long);
};

when i try to compile my class CARDLLWrapper, VC tells me :
cannot convert from 'LPTSTR' to 'LPTSTR (__cdecl *)(long)'

now, i'm confused... i'm turning around and around without seeing what is wrong :-(
a little help would be fantastic.
thx.

Al.
