importCLib(libName,DLL, def)

Imports a Compiled Library

Syntax

importCLib(libName, DLL, def)

libName: scalar Text - library name to use for the imported library

DLL: scalar text - the DLL file that is to be loaded

def: array 1D Text - the definition file contents

return: type description

Usage

This wraps the Import Library object within a function so that it can be used in expressions.

Location

menu: veeos ==> coding ==> importCLib

library: codeLib

Example

importCLib( "games", "C:\temp\gameLib.dll", ["long __stdcall chess(int difficulty)","long __stdcall go(int difficulty)"]) imports the compiled library gameLib.dll with the library name "games".

Notes

As with any name, do not use spaces or punctuation within the library name. If you need spaces in the library file path be sure to quote them. Unless your library is within the default search path, you will need absolute path for the library file. Note that a definition file is not needed since the function definitions are included as an argument.
