I want to make a dll that makes some things and return the result to a process on the calling exe.
My dll is supposued to run with a VB executable.

I have used some dlls that return results in a procedure of the calling application if the calling app gives a pointer to the procedure.
Okay, i want to do exactly that.
That my VB code send a pointer to its procedure (function in VB) but, how do i return teh result to this procedure from my PB dll?

Hope i make my self clear

Best Regards

So you have a pointer to a procedure and whant to call it with it's arguments, do I understand right?
Well, that would be just:

CallFunctionFast(Pointer.l, Argument1, Argument2, [...] )

Thanks Freak

If you think it this is an easier way to pass strings betwen applications or even structures.
In my case i need to pass a percent of the work done and another info, so i will use this way to pass as many info as i need.

Thanks again!!
