Delphi DLL

[Bob Devine]

I want to call a Delphi DLL from one of my PB DLLs. Two longs are passed to the DLL function. I'm using the skeleton app to test it but when I start it up I get a message that skeleton.exe is linked to missing export DCURVPRT.DLL:CHECKREGISTRATION2

I've tried all sorts of combinations in the Declare statement, and have even moved the DLL into the same folder - anyone got any pointers to getting this to work?

Thanks for any help

A missing export error usually means that the DLL is being found fine, but Windows is unable to resolve the target sub/function name within the DLL's export table.

Unless you use an ALIAS clause in your DECLARE statement, PB will expect the exported name(s) in the DLL to be capitalized.

ie,

' psuedocode...
DECLARE FUNCTION myfunc LIB "Mylib.DLL" _
    (params) AS LONG ' name expected to be "MYFUNC"

DECLARE FUNCTION myfunc LIB "Mylib.DLL" [b]ALIAS "MyFunc"[/b] _
    (params) AS LONG ' name expected to be "MyFunc"

Lance - you're a star! Thanks, it works fine now. It's a while since I used my PB and I remember now being caught out with the case of the names in the past.

Cheers
