I haven't got the code, because I haven't got VB and can't test the code I post.

So, the next step: I think that the possible problem why VB crashes is that DLL tries to free memory, allocated for the array, after the procedure is done. You can test if it's so if you change a DLL code a little:

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL MyFunctionPB(*ArrayFromVB)
 Dim MyArray.l(1)
 CopyMemory(*ArrayFromVB, @MyArray(), 2*4)
 MessageRequester(PeekS(MyArray(0)), PeekS(MyArray(1)))
EndProcedure

Don't worry and not offense

I have all my trust in you

And you help me very much

And the winner is.....THEARR !!!!

You have right, your new code works fine.
I can use my "quit button" for VB now

You are an ANGEL and an angel must have wifes

It's the reason why ............KCC is proud, to offer you, for thanks of your great and kindness help, a nice picture of your "Charlie's Angels" after a big french lunch

France it's the land of food :roll:

I hope it's a good present for you :roll:
I make you a big smile with

Again thanks at you, and all help me, in this dangerous mission, in the middle of the PC memory

KCC is very very sad
OK, we've almost got it.

Now try to chek "Unicode executable" option in PB IDE before compiling DLL.

It's again me

The passing of array works fine now, thanks to THEARR, but when i pass a string variable at my DLL i have square character in the messagerequester

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL MyFunctionPB(String.s, *ArrayFromVB) 
 MessageRequester("", String)
 Dim MyArray.l(1) 
 CopyMemory(*ArrayFromVB, @MyArray(), 2*4) 
 MessageRequester(PeekS(MyArray(0)), PeekS(MyArray(1))) 
EndProcedure

Then i disable the UNICODE in the DLL, my string is OK, but i have just the first character of my array

Someone know what i must do ????? :roll:
Programming is really the HELL for KCC

Well...it's christmas

KCC have found alone the solution...like a big

KCC think the problem is in the side of VB :roll:

So KCC add this line in the VB code :

Code: Select all

Private Declare Sub MyFunctionPB Lib "c:\MyDll.dll" (ByRef MyArray As Long) 

Public Sub Form_Load() 
  
 MyArrayVB(0) = "one" 
 MyArrayVB(1) = "two" 
 
 MyStr = StrConv(MyArrayVB(0), vbFromUnicode)
 MyArrayPB(0) = StrPtr(MyStr) 
 
 MyStr = StrConv(MyArrayVB(1), vbFromUnicode)
 MyArrayPB(1) = StrPtr(MyStr) 
  
 MyFunctionPB MyArrayPB(0) 'Send pointer to PB DLL function (ByRef) 

End Sub

And "Roll my hen" (French expression = "Roule ma poule")....that's works fine now

If this........... can help anybody a day

Thanks HELPY for your links.

I try to understand it

I have send the skin of bear to quickly

This function of VB don't works

Code: Select all

MyStr = StrConv(TabloVB(i), vbFromUnicode)

I must convert UNICODE to ANSI in VB not in PB
I have found a function who convert UNICODE/ANSI in PB and that's works

But i search the same function vor VB and don't find it

I don't know how do you pass the string, but this way can work:

Code: Select all

Private Declare Sub MyFunctionPB Lib "c:\MyDll.dll" (ByVal MyString as String, ByRef MyArray As Long) 


MyFunctionPB TestString, MyArrayPB(0) 'TestString is a string variable you'd like to pass to Dll

Hello THEARR

Yes that's works only if i compile in UNICODE the DLL

But if i compile in UNICODE it's the title string who don't pass.

I prefer convert in VB the UNICODE to ANSI and pass the array in ANSI mode, if it's possible.
At my mean it's more simple, and like i have never compiled all my DLL in UNICODE, i'm affraid if one or much more variable don't pass

I have try also to compile in ANSI and add this function

Code: Select all

Procedure.s Unicode2Ansi(*Unicode, UniLen.l) 
  ;/ *Unicode [in]  Points To the wide-character string To be converted. 
  ;/ UniLen   [in]  Specifies the number of wide characters in the string pointed to by the lpWideCharStr parameter. If this value is -1, the string is assumed to be null-terminated and the length is calculated automatically. The length will include the null-terminator. 
  ;/ string   [out] The translated (ANSI) string. 
  Protected Ansi.s,AnsiLen.l 
  AnsiLen = WideCharToMultiByte_(#CP_ACP,0,*Unicode,UniLen,0,AnsiLen,0,0) 
  If AnsiLen 
    Ansi = Space(AnsiLen) 
    If WideCharToMultiByte_(#CP_ACP,0,*Unicode,UniLen,@Ansi,AnsiLen,0,0);"•",#True) 
      ProcedureReturn Ansi 
    EndIf 
  EndIf 
  ProcedureReturn "" 
EndProcedure

Code: Select all

  Ansi.s = Unicode2Ansi(MyArray(i), 1000)
  AddGadgetItem(#ListviewTexte, - 1, ReplaceString(Ansi, Chr(13), ""))

And that's works fine too.
But i search to convert in VB in ANSI not in PB
Because i don't want to modify all my DLL :roll:

Posted: **Wed Jun 03, 2009 11:03 pm**

Code: Select all

 MyArrayVB(0) = StrConv("one", vbFromUnicode)
 MyArrayVB(1) = StrConv("two", vbFromUnicode)

Ooouuuiinnn !!!!
KCC become crazy....Ooouuuiinnn !!!!

KCC don't understand anything now...Ooouuuiinnn !!!!
UNICODE, ANSI, MEMORY, POINTER, VB, SAFEARRAY, PB ....oouuuiinnn !!!!

KCC just want pass a string array of VB to PB...is just that ...only that.......Oiuiinnn !!!!
The programming is very bad with KCC .....Oiuiinnn !!!!

KCC have an idea

This is the VB code and PB code of KCC

http://erdsjb.free.fr/TabloDll.zip

Perhaps you, you can do a magical tower and pass this #([**@"=## of array of VB to PB :roll:
