Hi everyone,

Could Delphi units (*.pas) be included in vds ?

Skit3000 · Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2003 4:46 pm Post subject:

You can't include them into VDS directly. You should compile the *.pas file(s) into a DLL. Then you should be able to load that DLL with the @lib() function of VDS. I don't know how experienced you are with Delphi, but you can always ask for some help here... Smile

Hi Skit3000

Thanks for the answer.

I 'm a good coder in delphi, but not as well in vds Confused

I'll brief explain how to call a non-VDS dll (Delphi) with VDS.

First, load the DLL:

loadlib dllname

After that, use the @lib() function to call the proper function:

%%tempvariable = @lib(dllname,functionname,STR:,parameter1,parameter2,parameter3)

Please note that the "STR:" I use, should be "INT:" if your DLL returns an intregger in steed of a string.

Then unload the DLL to avoid errors:

freelib dllname

I hope you can do something with this explaination... Smile
