Can I import another Lib while I am creating a static library in MSVC++.Net? How?

no body answered?

ok, I will give a simple example:

file: a.Lib

CPP / C++ / C Code:

==================================
function: 
     int getInt( int input ){
         return input*2;
     }
==================================

file: b.Lib

CPP / C++ / C Code:

function:
     CString getStr( int in ){
        CString c;
        return c.Format( "%d", getInt( in ));
     }
==================================

b.Lib imports and calls the function getInt() from a.Lib
and then another MFC application need to import and call the function getStr() from b.Lib

The problem is:
In Virual Studio.Net(MSVC++.Net), usually I can link the input Lib file through Project Properties->Linker->Input-> b.Lib

But, I could not find "Linker" in the same place to import a.Lib when I tried to create b.Lib...why?

The procedure I created b.Lib project was

in Virual Studio.Net)
File->New->Project->Virual C++ Projects->Win32 Project->Application Settings->Static Library->Finish

Is there any problem or we just can not link a Lib when creating a Lib?

Hope someone can take me out from confusions

Cheers
George

Sure you can!
The only difference is that the property page is called in this case Librarian, instead of Linker->Input. Static library projects don't have the "Linker" property page at all.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Luci
