Hi All,
I'm trying to get a DLL to interface with Visual Basic with no success.
The DLLs function is defined as:
function testdll(str:pchar):boolean; export;
The idea was to test the ability to pass strings to and from the DLL from
a VB program.
In VB I have tried:
Private Declare Function testdll Lib "greendll" (ByVal s As String)
As Boolean
I also tried using Byref instead. I really don't know what type is
compatible with a pchar.
VB doesn't handle pointers properly. So I'm a bit stuck.
Basically my Delphi project compares the string using strcomp to 'HAPPY'
(which I will be if this works) and then returning true or false.
I have tried passing the text of a textbox to the dll and getting the
return value into a label.
Unfortunately that didn't work. So I tried adding a #0. Well VB speak for
it Chr$(0) but that didn't work either.
Can someone please *HELP*!!!
bfn,
si.
