Is there any way that anyone knows of getting the handle to a user-plugin? I know the handles to DBPro-dlls are passed in the GlobCore data:

(Delphi Code)

But I can't see any way to do the same for user-dlls. Maybe there is a function you can call? Thanks for any help.

You use LoadLibrary with the name of the DLL.

Hmm, I'd already tried that and it didn't seem to work, but I will try again. So if I use LoadLibrary and then call a function in the dll, will DBPro, having loaded the dll itself, be affected by the dll? I was under the impression that LoadLibrary would load an instance of the dll that was linked only to my dll, not to DBPro.

Ok, I've figured it out. For anyone looking at this thread in the future, here is some info.

You can't access the user-dll commands as if you were calling them from in DBPro, but you can load the library as you said, and then call the dll's 'ReceiveCoreDataPtr' function to pass to it the GlobCore data. You can then use the dll, but the functions you call from your dll will be completely separate from the functions if you call them from within DBPro. E.g. With the D3DFunc dll you would do this to draw some text:



However, if you created a function 'MyDLL_StartText' with your DLL that called D3D_StartText, you couldn't do this:



As MyDLL_StartText is in a completely different instance from D3D_StartText. You would have to do this to get it to work:



Note that both fonts can successfully use FontID 1, as they exist in two completely different instances of the dll.
