Hey people!

I started learning C++ yesterday and I want to know, how can I return string to DarkBASIC Professional?

My code which is not working:

+ Code Snippet

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "XOR World.h"
#include <stdexcept>
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

using namespace std;

extern "C" __declspec( dllexport ) void XOR_Print( LPSTR a);
void XOR_Print( LPSTR a)
{
	a = "blabla";
return a;
}

I am big noob here and I know that you will find a lot of errors but anyway

I have software and now I am ready to make DLL files

I am by no means an expert on DLLs but you should check out a help file for more help on returning values to DBPro. It is found in this directory:

Dark Basic Professional\Help\documents\1 Third Party Commands.htm

Returning strings looks a little tricky.

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!
