Noob Question about Librarys

Thank you for all the answer's
But when should I use stdcall?

when your function (from dll) is to be called from a c-like language you can not use the pascal default (and superior) calling convention; you use cdecl or stdcall (not the same thing) instead.

Not the same thing..
Exactly..
How do I know when to use which?

Hi

The "stdcall" calling convention is mainly windows-centric...

You should use stdcall whenever what you're calling is declared with stdcall

The Windows API is mostly declared with stdcall on win32, but when you call C/C++ code, it's cdecl by default(unless they've manually changed it to something else)
