[PD-dev] help me with my DLL snafu

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Hans-Christoph,
if you really want to stick to your name, the only chance i see is to  
load all symbols from the Windows hid.dll dynamically (LoadLibrary and  
GetProcAdress).
It depends on the number of functions you are using but should be  
doable in principle.
Apart from that this _could_ work, it's a really dirty solution.

You could also name your object hidwin.dll and load it as a library ;-)
Or use a hid abstraction, encapsulating a hidwin object.

best greetings,
Thomas
