Dll and array

[spacebuddy]

Hello All,

Is there anyway in Purebasic to pass an array using a Dll?

What I want to do is create the DLL in Purebasic and pass an array of string to another programming language.

Thanks

Something like this maybe? This code is not checked so might not work.

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL AttachProcess(Instance)
  
  Global Dim my_string_array.s(10)
  
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL DetachProcess(Instance)
  
  FreeArray(my_string_array())
  
EndProcedure

ProcedureCDLL array_of_strings()
  
  my_string_array(0) = "hello"
  my_string_array(1) = "world"
  my_string_array(2) = "DLL"
  
  ProcedureReturn my_string_array()
  
EndProcedure

It depends on what your other language is. You could also use structure arrays which is more like C
