Anyone know how to do this? I've called other DBpro commands from TPC dll's that I've worked on, but SYNC is in the DBproCore.dll so it works a little bit different. Anyone??

Yeah, iirc you can call it from your own TPC.

WOLF,

You should still be able to load the DLL from your TPC using LoadLibrary as DBProCore will be loaded from the EXE like all other DLLs used by the EXE.

Create a typedef function pointer:

typedef void (*FP_DBSYNC)( void );

HMODULE hDLL;
FP_DBSYNC fpSync;

hDLL = LoadLibrary( "DBProCore.DLL" );
if( hDLL ) {
fpSync = (FP_DBSYNC)GetProcAddress( hDLL, "@@ Mangled name for DB's Sync command" );
} else {
// Error, do nothing
return;
}

and calling it is done in the usual way..

(*dbSync)();

Paul.

Thanks Paul! I'll be sure to try that. I used a slightly different method for calling other DBpro commands, but if it works then GREAT!


edit:

I just tried it and it worked GREAT!
Thanks again
