I've created a DLL containing a simple one function (gets an integer
variable, multiplying it by 2 and returning the integer answer back).

The class was made and compiled to DLL in a Visual Basic enviroment.

while I could easealy call that DLL's function from C++,VB
enviroments, I couldn't from Lingo. I do used the glu32 Extra
calls as needed, but while the dll was recognized- the function wasn't.

Mybe you have some simple example of the exact propertys defenitions
I have to make on the Class in VB enviroment so its function/s will
be recognized in lingo.

Thanks ahead- Shalom

as that sound like it could be hijacked for "devious" purposes...

I don't think running / installing DLLs from a director file would be allowed...

PS, is a self-maid DLL like a milk-maid DLL ?he he

peep

dear replaier, I assumed that I was misunderstood.
First of all I'm not a child but grown-up man and plan nothing about
installing nothing. As far as I worked beafore in VB, I wasn't making
any functions in my projects, but making a single DLL which was
containing all the needed functions, and the project was linked to it.

That's the most right way dealing with projects- that way the functions
won't be a part of the CS that the project occupies, and one DLL
could simulteniously serve several users.

That's what I'm looking for to do with lingo, beacuse till far no one
in my new work place used that method.

Now if you have some constructive unswer for me, I'll be most gratefull

Shalom

"I don't think running / installing DLLs from a director file would be allowed..."

im pretty sure that was a constructive answer, try macromedias developer toolkit on making xtras.

Thank you very much...

Dear Questioner,

Did you also read the title of my post ?

" you'd need an xtra surely... "

But, seeing as you like to jump to conclusions....
you seem like you need a sit down and a cup of something.

Thank you kid twice, for building my personal profilest ...

Hi all,

although this an old thread i thought of adding a
quicker workaround then building an Xtra.

You could simply create an ActiveX Control in Visual Basic
and call the DLL from within the ActiveX Conrol.
i.e.

Gary Smith from Buddy API fame has a great tutorial
on creating ActiveX Controls for Director:

WOW!!!!

sgwood do you actually believe in 3 years he didn't solved his problem? LOL!

Anyway you are correct on your post, that is the way for common DLLs.
