need help creating a dll file, most of the program is here

Hi,

I am writing a program to open any offline chart programmatically and this works in recent mql4 builds,

but I need a dll out of this so older builds can use it. Can anyone who is familar with win32 programming help me

fix the 3 or 4 compilation issues ? I am new to windows programming and I don't know much about getting this to work.

All this does is :

1) do a file -> open offline

2) feed the chart name + \t + \r to the input device to open the chart.

Like I said this works just fine on recent builds, now just need a dll.  just need to fix a few compilation issues using visual studio.
