Use External Procedures. Here is roughly how it works. You will need to look at documentation or books for the details.

Setup External Procedures to call functions in a dll. From that function, call your program.
If you are using Visual C++, make sure to declare the functions as extern "C" so that the function names are not decorated by the compiler
