Params : ARRAY OF BYTE;
NumParams : BYTE );


Thanks for any help!

You dont need to write that.

Its only a declaration, so its not needed to write
it in PB.
You only have to remember this when you translate
the procedure/call to "MyActionProc".

You *could* write something like

Code: Select all

DECLARE MyActionProc(IDNum.l, *Name, *Hint, *Params, NumParams.b)

if you translated the Procedure to PB.

Code: Select all

*Name = Pointer to a String -> Name$ = PeekS(*Name)
*Hint = Pointer to a String -> Hint$ = PeekS(*Hint)


*Params = Pointer to an Byte-Array
NumParams = Count of Bytes @ *Params

To make it better, someone needs the whole Source
to check everything.

Looks like "MyActionProc" is not directly in the source,
but outside in a DLL or something like this.

Thanks for reply Danilo.
I want to translate a DLL code, which i have in Delphi and/or Visual C++
for use on and authoring tool called Neobook, the host of that dll.
Exist a development kit for DLLs but only in that languages, not VB or basic languages.
Its not a long code, if you can help me i put here the the full code.

Really, thanks a lot.

marlo, like I mentioned before... the DLL created in PB will not work with your Neobook program unless you can change how Neobook calls the DLL.

All call names created in PB for a DLL have a "_" added to them.

Neobook will be looking for: MyActionProc
but the DLL would contain: _MyActionProc

Paul is right.

You cant rewrite this DLL with PureBasic
until Fred can change the Linker to not
insert the "_" before the name.

Well...
Fred said its not possible atm, because the
Linker adds it automatically.

I think there _must_ be a way to tell the
Linker not to add the "_", but Fred should
know this better.

Its a linker from a C-compiler. But hey,
you can also write DLLs without "_" in C/C++

Fred ??
