The string you need would be whatever is displayed in a Notepad or Depends. It could well be $MsgBix@AAIFD%&@

look at the tpc in the docs section of the help system - it tells you how to create dl string tables and how to make dlls compatiable with pro

you cannot make the DLL callable within DarkBASIC as a Command like you can in DBP, but provided you export it using
Extern "C" __declspec ( dllexport ) [prototype]

you will be able to call it in DB Enhanced like:
Load DLL DLLNumber, DLLName$
Call DLL DLLNumber, DLLFunctionName$, Parameters [upto 9]

if it has to call something back then you must use,

Result = Call DLL ( DLLNumber, DLLFunctionName$, Parameters [upto 9] )

Remember DB cannot use Global Structure features, or DirectX9.. so if you plan to use them make sure you create 2 Prototype Functions to export as the same name, you can do this by checking to see if _GLOBSTRUCT_H_ symbol has been defined.
