Not directly, no. You need to create a new static library project and add the
proper source/object files to it.

No. DLLs are specifically designed to be used as external files. Their
code can't be merged into the .exe directly. What you can do, however, it
add the .dll files are raw data resources to the .exe, and then the .exe can
extract them to disk at runtime when needed. For that to work, however, the
.exe cannot static link to those .dll files at compile them. It has to
dynamically load them at runtime via LoadLobrary() instead.

The technique Remy suggests is discussed in some detail here this article:
