I meant not calling an external dll from within darkbasic. I meant being to have a dll that can call darkbasic commands from within it self.

If you know about function pointers in C or C++, then yes. If not, no.

I'd make a guess based on your question about global variables in C, that you don't, so any answer I give, you won't really understand.

Take a few minutes on google to look them up and learn them, then come back here when you understand what's going on and why.
