Uncapitalized procedure names

[Bill Cadenhead Member Find all posts View Profile Close Bill Cadenhead]

If I compile this dll (as c:\my_dll.dll) --


#COMPILE DLL

SUB try_this ALIAS "try_this" () EXPORT

MSGBOX "inside dll"

END SUB


and this exe --

#COMPILE EXE

DECLARE SUB try_this LIB "c:\my_dll.dll" ()



FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG

CALL try_this()

END FUNCTION



then when I try to run the .exe, I get the error msg --

"The procedure enty point TRY_THIS could not be located in the
dynamic link library C:\MY_DLL.DLL."

Note the caps in the error msg.



If I redo the the dll and exe source code with caps (i.e. TRY_THIS instead of try_this) and recompile, everything works. Any thoughts?

See in help: "ALIAS"

Use it everywhere it is allowed and your problems will vanish, never to return again.
