Differentiate normal DLL to COM DLL

Answer Posted / saravanan k

Classic DLLs are function libraries while ActiveX(COM)
DLLs are objects. The difference is like the difference
between procedural and object oriented programming.
API style Declare statements are needed for routines in
a 'normal' DLL and and an ActiveX(COM) DLL is treated like a
class object.
