Use of WIN-SDK Import libraries

Question

How can we use Win32 SDK import libraries( *.lib) in our forms. I am not asking of DLL,
of course we can use a DLL with ora_ffi, But my problem is the use of Microsoft SDK for windows. Because Microsoft windows API documentation is based on Import libraries(*.lib) so we can not have the detailed information of DLLs, Thats why i am interested in use of (*.lib) import libraries.

Adding the lib file to your project is not sufficient to use its functions.
You also need the function definitions. According to MSDN, CMC function definitions
are located in "xcmc.h" header file, which should be present in cvi\sdk\include.
So, simply add the following line at the beginning of your source file "smtp.c":
#include
