I scanned the posts, saying it could be done,
but I was wondering if anyone has had success
creating a dll that way, and used it in DBPro?

I just ordered both, wanting to make a dll myself.
If anyone wanted to share even a very simple source code
using PureBASIC that makes a simple dll, that might just return an integer value, I would really appreciate it.

Hi,

Actually, no PurePLUGIN user's project are available for public.
PurePLUGIN is a really recent product ... You must wait a bit to see some projects emerge from the dark

If you take a look at the sample, there is one that return integer values.
But to be more clear.

In your DLL, you must create a command such this one:

This ProcedureCDLL return an integer. It's defined in 2 places:
- ProcedureCDLL.L
- ProcedureReturn VA (with VA.l defined before)

In the .RC file, simply add this line in one of the string table available :
XX, "My Return Integer%L%MyReturnInteger%"
Replace the XX with a number that is not used by any other commands.

Compile your DLL containing this ProcedureCDLL with the .RC file added in the PureBASIC Compiler Options

Use the PPFixer tool or XVI to modify the Constructor procedure.

Copy your fresh new DLL in the CompilerPlugins-user directory from DarkBASIC Professional install.
Also copy the PurePLUGIN.DLL in the CompilerPlugins-user directory.

Start your DarkBASIC Professional's favourite IDE.
Enter this :

Null = PP Initialized()
MyValue = My Return Integer()
Print MyValue
Wait Key

It should display 5.

Regards,
Fred

purebasic output a standard C library, fully compatible with DBP.
So as Fred says, just adding a string table manually will do the trick; there's actually a newletter from a while ago that documented exactly how to do this when it was popular.

Thanks very much, can't wait to try it out.

@BillR: I've just seen your e-mail here and, regarding to that, I've sent an e-mail to you about your PurePLUGIN Purchase...
