I'm brand spanking new to Visual C++ 2010 Express - and I'm aiming to use to create an Excel Spreadsheet that has C++ working in the background (would like the advantages of C++ code combined with the 'user friendly' interface of Excel - I use '--' since that is what I've been instructed by my Excel loving boss).
I'm patiently working through Section 5 of the fantastic guide at http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~ahazel/EXCEL_C++.pdf where it state that I need to 'right click' the Source File folder and select 'Add new item' and then select a Module Definition File template.
I cannot find this template.
I can only get the following templates
C++ File (.cpp)
Component Class
Header File (.h)
Property Sheet (.props)
Windows Form
I found a similar question on the forum, but I didn't understand how to implement the response ('Using the Express edition? You can make it work by simply adding a .txt file and using the .def filename extension. Then use Project + Properties, Linker, Input, Module Definition File to tell the linker to use it.). Would a wonderfully patient person please describe in really basic terms how I can Add a new Module Definition File (preferably using a template since I am super new to all of this - I've no idea what things are meant to look like).
Thank you the wonderful people of the grand, big interweb!
