That's the error i'm getting when trying to use my simple dll in Dbpro. Since this is a test dll most of the code is copied from these forums.

DllMain.cpp

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define EXPORT     _declspec(dllexport)
#define EXPORTC    extern "C++" EXPORT

#include "globstruct.h"
#include "head.h"

{
    static GlobStruct* CorePtr = NULL;
    
    // If already have the core pointer, return it.
    if (CorePtr)
        return CorePtr;

// Get the core pointer ...
    typedef GlobStruct* (__cdecl *tGetGlobPtr)(void);
    
    HINSTANCE CoreHandle = LoadLibrary("DBProCore.dll");
    tGetGlobPtr GetGlobPtr = (tGetGlobPtr)GetProcAddress( CoreHandle, "?GetGlobPtr@@YAKXZ" );
    FreeLibrary( CoreHandle );
    
    CorePtr = GetGlobPtr();
    
    // ... and return it.
    return CorePtr;
}

void DeleteString(LPCSTR OldStr)
    {
        if (OldStr)
        {
            GetCore()->CreateDeleteString( (DWORD *)&OldStr, 0);
        }
    }

LPSTR CreateString(int Size)
{
    LPSTR NewString=NULL;
    GetCore()->CreateDeleteString( (DWORD *)&NewString, Size);
    return NewString;
}

LPSTR CreateString(LPCSTR Source)
{
    return strcpy( CreateString( (int)strlen(Source)+1 ), Source );
}

// ---- User Code ----
EXPORTC DWORD TestFunc(LPSTR OldString, int Value)
{
    // Remove the old string
    DeleteString( OldString );
    
    // Allocate a new string
    LPSTR RetString = CreateString(12); // 10 possible digits, leading sign, null terminator
    
    // Populate the new string
    sprintf(RetString, "%d", Value);
    
    // Return the new string
    return (DWORD)RetString;
}

Compiled dll attached.

The header file Head.h was a last second try to get it working so it may not be needed. Please take the time to reply, thanks!

Edit:

Lol, 5 minutes after I finaly post I figure it out. my problem was that I didn't completely copy the function name from the dll for the resource file. For referance when you go to copy the function name from the dll copy everything surrounding the name on both sides until you reach a space.

Ok, so now I'm trying to do what I've been trying to do the whole time.

This function crashes my program when I call it. Any ideas about what could be causing it?

Your 'populate the new string' is incorrect. Your sprintf should have %s in the string, but I'd suggest you simply replace the line with strcpy.

Your earlier sprintf is also incorrect in pretty much the same way.

Hmm... for some reason the edit post is acting wierd. I figured out that the problem is with strcat I just don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Where are you allocating the storage for this variable?

LPSTR filter;

Also, you can't append an extra null byte to a char* with strcat - you'll need to build that kind of string manually.
