PureBasic Forums - English

I bought purebasic a few months ago and haven't had time to play with it yet.
What I'm wondering is how to initialize COM. Here's some simple code from the help file the name of the dll is sapi.dll. If someone could help get started on this. There's also VB source and DHML source using activex. I haven't seen much on how to access .DLL's.



#include
#include

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
ISpVoice * pVoice = NULL;

if (FAILED(::CoInitialize(NULL)))
return FALSE;

HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SpVoice, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_ISpVoice, (void **)&pVoice);
if( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
hr = pVoice->Speak(L"Hello world", 0, NULL);
pVoice->Release();
pVoice = NULL;
}

::CoUninitialize();
return TRUE;
}

Hello Arbitrage, and welcome to the Forum,

> I haven't seen much on how to access .DLL's.

If you take a look at the PB-Help under the Topic Library, you'll find all the Functions needed to access DLLs.

Here's a short listing:

OpenLibrary - Opens a DLL
CloseLibrary - closes it.
IsFunction - checks, wether a DLL-Function exists
CallFunction - calls a Function from a dll
CallFunctionFast - calls a Function faster (for expirienced users)

There's also an example in your PB-Dir under 'Examples\Sources\Library.Pb' which should be easy to understand.

> What I'm wondering is how to initialize COM.

Someone posted a small and easy to understand Example on how to create COM-Opbjects. You can find it viewtopic.php?t=1211

Sorry, but I don't know VB and DHML, maybe someone else can help you out there

That's it...

Timo
