I hope you will indulge me. I haven't had PB/DLL 6.0 for very long and would like to ask some simple questions. My main experience is with VB6.0 and I am primarily creating add on DLLs to a VB program(s).
1) Is the help file the "manual". Is this the same as the manual that can be ordered from Powerbasic? Is there anything more I could read as it seems very short? I've spent quite a bit of time on the site but it seems the most helpful source of info is this forum.
2) Is there a way to debug a DLL without making it into an EXE?
3) Is there an immediate window anywhere which is similar to the VB Immediate window? Is there an alternative way to do this?
4) Is PowerGen an add on product? It says not installed when I click on it. Anyone want to provide a quick summary of what it does?
5) In v2.00, does the Compiler Shell do the same thing that the v2.0 compiler does when you press the Build button? When I did it this way, the resulting DLL didn't seem to "work".
6) If App A calls MyDLL.dll 3 times for instance, do the Global variables in MyDLL.dll remain the same for App A? Does App B get new Global variables from MyDll.dll when it calls a DLL function or the same global varibles as App A?
