The Dll must have your function an this function you can call witch DllCall

[Borje]

Yes my dll has this function..

But my question is how to use the dllcall to call this ?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but here is a sample API call from one of my scripts that saves it to a variable. This is the only way I know how to do it and the paramaters obviously need to change dependign on the DLL being referenced but something like this...

$key = DllStructGetData($tRI_KD, 'VKey')

[Borje]

No I have try DllCall("test.dll", "int", "EP_RegHardwareID")

but that is not working.

DllCall() and the DllStruct* functions can probably do the job, but you have to provide more interface details. There are too many ways it could be done to guess how this DLL was designed. Do you have a link to the interface description? Or contact with the DLL's coder?

The only I know is this from a visual basic code

Public Declare Function EP_RegHardwareID Lib "test.dll" () As String

Try the source forum: Enigma Protector

I have contact with the developer of this dll file and the answer from him is:

You can use Enigma API in your project, for example, to get hardware

id just call EP_RegHardwareID function, it will return current

hardware id. So you will be able to show it.

And my question is what I need to do for call this EP_RegHardwareID I can not

find out what I should do..

[Inverted]

What does the function return ? A string,a value ? What sized value ?

And remember that it returns an array, not just the return value.

Try this :

$return = DllCall("test.dll", "int", "EP_RegHardwareID")

MsgBox (4096, "", $return[0])

Or try other parameter instead of "int" if it doesn't work.
