LEADTOOLS DICOM C++ Class Library Help
| LEADTOOLS DICOM C++ Class Library Help > Getting Started > Considering Development Systems |
The LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library is designed as a set of standard C++ objects. These objects make use of the LEADTOOLS DICOM C DLL, which are standard Windows Dynamic Link Libraries. You should be able to use the LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library with any compiler that supports C++ class objects and Windows DLL calls. This topic explains some of the options.
Most of the LEADTOOLS example programs and all of the documented code examples are for Windows programs written in C/C++. You can use LEADTOOLS as explained in Using LEADTOOLS with Your C/C++ Compiler.
The LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library objects can be used as base classes for classes that you wish to derive.
Most LEADTOOLS libraries provide both ANSI and UNICODE support in the same dll. This is not the case for DICOM. LEADTOOLS provides both UNICODE-only and ANSI-only versions of the C++ Class Library DICOM dlls. For information on the required dll name and import library, please refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application.
