Hi, I am trying to debug a C++ program using Microsoft VC++ IDE. The
program loads a dynamic link library (dll) and later makes calls to
functions inside this dll. I want to step inside the code of this dll.
Is that possible to do? Because currently what is happening is, even if
I try to step inside the function in the dll (by F11 key), it is
stepping over the whole function (like F10 does).

How can I step inside the dll code? Am I doing something incorrectly
now? Please help.

Thank you.

Suggestion:
1. Make sure you use debug build for the DLL
2. Set a breakpoint in the DLL function you would like to step

Better suggestion:
Post it to microsoft.public.vc.language or other vc specific newsgroups and
get experts to help.

Unless it is a debug version I'm not so sure you can step inside it.
Even then, it may require you to have source available so that it can
step through the code as well.

You will probably get jumped once or twice about this not being the
appropriate forum. It is intended for pure C++ and people do not
usually answer or discuss questions that are compiler or OS specific
of which you are guilty of both.

You may find a more suitable answer, or more correct even, by checking
out some of the Microsoft specific newsgroups.

In the ms IDE debug options you can specify "Load Additional Dll" - as long
as you have the debug symbols available with the binary it will let you step
in as usual - search the msvc help on loading additional dll's
