Dynamic Link Libraries[DLL's]: Can Anyone Help?

Post by ChristopherBodell » Sat Mar 08, 2008 6:14 am

I have downloaded some animation engines and other dll's and would like to know if i just call the coomands for them from my application just like a normal handler or command, or would i have to "start using" the library or what, because i know that revolution uses a library, or so i think, to use their vioce recognition, and they have databse support, optional, through dll libraries, so could i just use their functions like a normal revolution function?

Sorry for the hundred questions, I haven't really had time lately to do any testing of my own or i would try, but sorry for the inconvenience............ and the hundred questions....

Many Thanks,
Christopher

While you can't call DLL functions driectly from within Revolution, you can get at them via VBScript. Here's a tip by Ken Ray:

Hope this helped,
