hello,

I am using visual studio 2008 with C++ (MFC) project and I want to add a reference to this project, I want to add an .exe file as a reference because this reference can converts the text to speech and i want that because my project must speak the user's input.

I could do that when the project of kind CLR by right-click on the project and the select (references) from the menu then select add references then choose the type COM and I find a list containing all files of type .exe located in my computer and I can add any of them as a reference for my project.

But in MFC project when I do the same way, I find an empty list
and I could not add a reference :(

Solutions that I've found says that I should include the .lib file but I do not have it, I have only the .exe file.

so can you heip me :)
