Hi,

I am sure this is a basic question, but it is driving me crazy.

I received a DLL containing a COM object from a third party which I am
trying to import. I put in the following lines of code to try to accomplish
this:

// Import the DLL
#import "TheDLL.dll"

// Create an instance of the object
TheNamespace::TheClass myObject;

When I compile the file containing these lines of code, I get the following
error message:

'myObject' uses undefined struct 'TheClass'

This is the only error message I get.

I have tried "using namespace TheNamespace;", and also supplying
"no_namespace" to the #import. Neither of these made any difference.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

TIA,

JAB
