Hi all. I'm new to c++ and i am making a DLL at the moment. I was wondering how I set the title and description (the one you get when you hold your mouse over a DLL in Windows 7). My DLL is meant to be used with windows console application.

Please Help.

Just guessing as I really haven't tried, but my guess would be with a 'manifest' file.

I hope this points you in the right direction ;)
I think it has something to do with these values, sorry I don't have more information

[assembly:AssemblyTitleAttribute("test")];
[assembly:AssemblyDescriptionAttribute("")];
[assembly:AssemblyConfigurationAttribute("")];
[assembly:AssemblyCompanyAttribute("Microsoft")];
[assembly:AssemblyProductAttribute("test")];
[assembly:AssemblyCopyrightAttribute("Copyright (c) Microsoft 2011")];
[assembly:AssemblyTrademarkAttribute("")];
[assembly:AssemblyCultureAttribute("")];
you need to create a .rc file
you will need a resource editor or a piad for version of Visual Studio.

that has got to do with the Managed version of C++, C# uses that
