First I'd better explain what all this is about...

I want to be able to communicate with MS Flight Simulator through the FSUIPC dll. You can download the FSUIPC SDK here: http://www.schiratti.com/files/dowson/F ... amp=010309

There are examples for C, ASM, VB etc. included, but unfortunately nothing for PB. If you're not familiar with MS Flight Simulator, read the FSUIPC for Programmers.pdf also included.

Hi neumanix

If you study the VB example, you should be able to get somewhere with PB, then come back to the forum with the bits you couldn't figure out.

I took your advice and followed the VB example. Before I get my beginner hopes up, I'd like to check with you how I'm doing so far, and a couple of questions too...

For example, here is a function declaration in VB:

Code: Select all

Declare Function CreateFileMapping& Lib "kernel32" Alias _
        "CreateFileMappingA" (ByVal hFile As Long, _
        ByVal lpFileMappingAttributes As Long, ByVal _
        flProtect As Long, ByVal dwMaximumSizeHigh As Long, _
        ByVal dwMaximumSizeLow As Long, ByVal lpName As String)

And here is what I did in PB:

Code: Select all

If result.l=OpenLibrary(2,"kernel32")
  End
EndIf

Procedure CreateFileMapping(hFile.l, lpFileMappingAttributes.l, flProtect.l, dwMaximumSizeHigh.l, dwMaximumSizeLow.l, lpName.s)
  ProcedureReturn(CallFunction(2,"CreateFileMappingA", hFile, lpFileMappingAttributes, flProtect, dwMaximumSizeHigh, dwMaximumSizeLow, Val(lpName)))
EndProcedure

Is this correct?

And this in VB:

Code: Select all

Public Const SMTO_BLOCK = &H1
Public Const PAGE_READWRITE = 4&

In PB I wrote this:

Code: Select all

#SMTO_BLOCK = $1
#PAGE_READWRITE = 4

Is this OK?

What about this in VB: Dim szName As String * 24

Is that equal to Dim szName(24) in PB ?

And here is where I'm stuck at the moment (the following code is VB):

Code: Select all

If (Not FSUIPC_Read(&H3304, 4, VarPtr(FSUIPC_Version), dwResult)) Then
      FSUIPC_Close
      FSUIPC_Open = False
      Exit Function
    End If

Is VarPtr(FSUIPC_Version) translated to @FSUIPC_Version in PB?

And this "Exit Function" is found in many places. It seems like the program should end at these points, so I just used "END" instead. Is that correct?

The FSUIPC_Read() function seems to be in a .lib called FSUIPC_USER.lib and this along with a header file is found in the C/C++ version of the SDK.
How do I use this is PB?

The link to the SDK is in my first post.

Really appreciate any help I can get!

This "Dim szName(24)" means an Array.

Try this:

Dim szName.s = Space(24)

Hi,

for import functions in PureBASIC, you should use Prototypes.
So it looks like this

Code: Select all

Prototype.l CreateFileMappingA(hFile.l, lpAttributes.l, flProtect.l, dwMaximumSizeHigh.l, dwMaximumSizeLow.l, lpName.s)

If OpenLibrary(0,"kernel32")
  CFMapping.CreateFileMappingA = GetFunction(0, "CreateFileMappingA")
EndIf

But I'm not 100% sure about the the types in the declaration.
You have to check them.

Than you can use CFMapping() as your imported function.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check it out.

I think I'm getting closer to getting this to work. I hadn't read through the VB source enough to see that the FSUIPC_read function is indeed there so no .lib needed it seems.
It's not working yet though, but here is what I've got so far. Ofcourse, if you don't have any version of MS Flight Simulator it's harder to help, but maybe you can spot some errors.
It does compile, but doesn't quite work yet. Probably lots of noob errors

Here's the file to include: (fsuipc.pbi)
