syntax for correctly calling 3rd party API (C++ Learning Community)

Hello all,

Can someone please tell me how to correctly phrase a call to FclInitialize (3rd party) in Visual Studio Express win32 from the C++ source?

This is from the header file provided by the manufacturer that compiles fine.

FCL_API
FclInitialize( IN LPCSTR pFilterName, // device name
OUT int& index, // index
IN CapInfoStruct capInfo,
OUT HANDLE* hImager); // Modual device handle pointer

Of course I wouldn't expect anyone to give me a value for the call variables...I just don't know how to set it up.

Thanks in advance -

WLE

CODE

/* Input Values */
LPCSTR filterName = "Filter";
CapInfoStruct capInfo;
/* Initialise capInfo here */

/* Output Values */
int index;
HANDLE hImager;

/* Call function */
FclInitialize(filterName,index,capInfo,&hImager);

Thanks, most of the code took. Now getting a linker error: LNK2019. One blog stated it was because the 3rd party library wasn't added but its pointed to in project options. Another source stated it was something about the ATL library. Any direction on this?
