PEAK-System Forum

Hi,

i would like to add PCAN lib and use it in Visual studio Code using c++.
i am unable to understand in which folder should i add the pcan lib that i downloaded from the peakcan website.
it would be great if you can tell me how can i do it using cmd prompt or in which folder of my VS code folder should i place the PEAKcan lib folder so that i can direct use the liv through c++ in VS code.
it would be great if you could describe the process step by step or suggest a video or some tutorial.

Thanks & regards,
Nedi

If you want to use Visual Studio with C++ you have 2 Options to use our APIs:

1. Loading the DLL with the LoadLibrary(..) Function while the Application is running, and get the Function Pointer with the GetProcAddress(...) Win API
or
2. Use the LIB (which includes NOT the functionality, only the referenz of the Address for all the used Functions)

If you choice the 2nd Option, simply copy the corresponding LIB from our Package to your project files. That is all you need to do.
And there is no "Video" available for add a file to a VC project... If you have developed with Visual Studio in the past, you know how to add a single file to a project.
