dll function name is same with already existing MFC function

I am not very familiar with C++ and here I am confronted with an error which I couldn't find answer from web.

I am trying to compile an example code which imports functions from a dll.

I am using VS 2010 Professional.

The problem is I get an error message saying:

error C2660: 'CDialog::Initialize': function does not take 4 arguments.

When I look at the 'Initilize()' function, I see that actually it is not a CDialog:: function but something completely different function from the dll, where the header file is include in the .cpp. It's the compiler misunderstanding it to CDialog:: and I see that since the class of the function in which the Initialize() is being called is actually inherited from CDialog.

What would be the simplest fix for this problem ?

Thanks in advance

Specify the correct function to be called with Namespace::Initialize() or Class::Initialize(), or just ::Initialize() if the function is not a member of any namespace or class.
