I'm new to making DLL's but i already create one, but now i have some problems with the stringtable.
I use dev-c++ and i have a command that needs a string and 2 integers.
So what is the stringtable? I thought
MYCOMMAND[%SLL%MYCOMMAND%STRING, INTEGER,INTEGER

Please help

It still says in Darkbasic Pro that my parameters aren't correct.
I use:
BIND SOCKET[%SD%DBP_BindSocket%ServerAddress, Port
What is wrong with this string?

DBP_BindSocket%ServerAddress, Port is whats wrong - it should just have the mangled name followed by %comment to denote a comment.

I'm confussed, i still don't get it
My command is this:
DLLIMPORT DWORD DBP_GetHostByName(LPSTR DBP_HostName)
{
LPSTR DBP_HostAddress;
DBP_RemoteHost = gethostbyname( DBP_HostName );
DBP_HostAddress = (DBP_RemoteHost->h_addr);
return (DWORD)DBP_HostAddress;
}
My stringtable:
"GET HOST BY NAME[%S%DBP_GetHostByName%Hostname"

If i don't add the [ after the command, i can use it in DB, but no string is returned... What's still wrong with this????

Never Mind i forgot to set the return type

Wrong and unsafe ...



The right way ...



... or something like that. You have to use DBPro memory-management system when playing with strings.

[edit]

The resource string would be:

GET HOST BY NAME[%SS%DBP_GetHostByName%Hostname

Ian may have a modified version - but no guarantees. DevC is not really the right language to use...

Here is the basic code to get the core pointer:



I've assembled it from fragments of other code, so it may not compile immediately.

why does dbpro use a very complex string system, will the tpc sdk (the new one) when it is released make it easier?

Probably so that memory allocation/deallocating is done inside DBPro, and thus removing a problem for the intrepid TPC writer.

You would probably just pass NULL

Yes if you are using Visual C++, otherwise no.
