I have just got VS.net 2005 this christmas, and have been learning to create dlls for DBP. I used this page for help.

I've already created the example functions, and a few of my own, but I still don't know how you are supposed to return a dword for a string.
If you look on the table, it says in, LPSTR, out, DWORD???

If someone has some example c++ code for returning a string, that would be great

I found this on the forums, Three score coded it.



All its doing is "packing" a string into the dword. You would use the function like this:

DWORD MyDLLFunc()
{
DWORD tmp = dbstring("Hello world.");
return(tmp);
}

Thanks, it's working now

Also, does anybody know of any more advanced tutorials about creating c++ plugins than returning the number 42?
