external dll

[link76]

Hello,
how to call an external dll library?

I have this library: WGS_UTMD.dll

statement:

Code: Select all

int __stdcall BOAGA_WGS(double North, double East, int czona, double *Long, double *Lat)

thank you

HI,

you cannot use ANY DLL with LC!
The external (DLL) needs to be made for Livecode or at least compatible with LC external APIs!
Is it?

how can I check it?

thanks

You need to know the Livecode calls/commands for the DLL.
But if you do not know them, the DLL is probably not compatible with LC.

where I find the documentation for the livecode calls / commands for the DLL?

[Klaus]

No idea, ask the developer of the DLL!

Hi,

I may help you if you give more infos about this WGS_UTMD dll.
Do you have any link for a doc or a full description?

I have already made few Windows DLL for Livecode; the latest one is sunnYpdf,
the most complicated one is sunnYperl... You can check on my site.

There is this old article about this topic: http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_DLL

I reformatted it and added some missing images. It's a wiki and you can correct and improve it.

For the record and to give back credits to the author,
I would say it was part of the official runrev documentation, written by Mark W.

These days, it seems there is only this one:

http://livecode.com/developers/guides/d ... externals/

is that true?

I've send a request to runrev support to correct the missing url in the doc..

Best,
