Why not?  That is a Microsoft DLL that is on all Windows systems.  Since you
are using the Windows Multimedia system anyway, you are better off
statically linking to it.  There is no point in dynamically loading it in
your code.

As it should be.  That DLL is always available.

The DLL is part of the Windows OS, and has been since the days of Windows 95
and NT 3.1.  It is been available on all Sindows systems ever since.

That is how to dynamically load a DLL function.  So what exactly are you
having a problem with?  Please be more specific.

Use a pointer in the typedef, not in the variable declarations:

    typedef int (*DLLFUNCTION)(int, int);

    DLLFUNCTION WinMM_DllFunction;

    WinMM_DllFunction  = (DLLFUNCTION) ::GetProcAddress(hInstance,
"Name_Of_Dll_Function");

    iResult = WinMM_DllFunction(iTest1, iTest2);
