What I have so far
I have a kind of dll but it is in the exe format. To use it with DBP you simply use the "execute file" command and in the command line bit you type the command you want to execute. For example:



What I would like to be able to do
I would like to be able to turn this into a dll. It doesn't have to be a stand alone dll and so it could be simply a dll which executes the exe.

So...
1. Is this possible?
2. How do I do this?

EXE's can't share memory (or so I have been told). You can do somethings like this with the file mapping of the new DBP Enhancement pack, though it will be slower. Why not just use a dll?

You may get more/better responses if you give more info on exactly how you are going to be using said exe.

What I want to try and do is make a dll which can execute an exe, sending it something through command line. Or... Turn a DBP Exe into a Dll.

I am trying to make a printing dll

Do you just want to access EXECUTE FILE from other programs? I'm sure it'd be much easier to code that directly in C?

You can't. No need to say much more really.

DBPro is only for EXEs, not for DLLs. But DBPro can call DLLs made with C++ and a couple of other languages.

If you had a C++ editor/compiler, then make a DLL project and insert the following code:



Then call the function function of the DLL after compiling.

If your trying to convert a dbp compiled exe straight into a dll file, that won't work. If your trying to do a printing dll, best to use C++ or somthing.
