Using a windows dll

Post by classic12 » Thu Aug 07, 2014 1:59 pm

I wrote a windows app a few years ago that used a dll to process images. (Number plate recognition ).

Is it possible to call a dll in livecode. Is there a simple demo app anywhere.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

you can call DLLs that are made for Livecocde*, but not any Windows DLL per se, maybe with a SHELL command!
*Like Livecode does with revdb.dll, revxml.dll etc.

Klaus and others,

Is it possible to write a C wrapper for Windows DLL? I assume you do something similar when executing LiveCode Windows

I think so, but on the other hand, I have no idea about C, C+, C++, C-, C--, ob-/sub-/rej-ective C etc 8)
