a DLL is a dynamic-Link-Library and for purposes of DBP they are made in C++/PureBASIC (and others). They contain FUNCTIONS that you can call from your dbp code, to enhance your coding adventure.

You need to know C++ before you can make any commands

Or Pascal

Some people use Purebasic or Powerbasic.

Nope. Only languages that can produce native dlls (the original type - no COM/ActiveX) and can have string resources attached.
