Hi, I've searched the forums up and down but cant seem to find out how to access a function in a dll. I've created a dll and created the declarations but I still get errors when calling any functions. Its seems that any text I put after the 'Extern'
keyword (other than 'win32') just generates an error.
Anyone know?
Post some of your dll code and the decls.
If you see my .NET Classes post (Under BlitzMax Programming), the source code calls a DLL. That should help you on the way.
Ok, I checked out the .Net gui. Am i to understand that to access a dll you need to hack up a C wrapper to use the functions? Bmax doesn't have any native support for using a dll?
This thread got me on the right track.

I wrote a Set of C things that just supplied a StdCall function with various numbers of parameters.
Blitzmax does not have a special command for it, you need to write your own as it stands. I found my one to be easy enough once you know what's going on.
