If you indeed know or strongly suspect the function is there, you can dynamically load the DLL with loadLibrary and get a pointer to the function with getProcAddress. See MSDN

Note that this is a manual, dynamic way to load the library; you'll still have to know the correct function signature to map to the function pointer in order to use it. AFAIK there is no way to use the dll in a load-time capability and use the functions without a header file.
