DllCall calling user defined functions

[ankitstr]

Hi all,

I read an example of creating a dll file in VC++ and was managed to get a compiled dll for a simple addition function.

Trying to run it with Autoit but instead of returning an array as in the documentation it's returning an int value 0.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ankit

Check the value of the @error macro right after you do the DllCall. The help file specifies what the error value means. Your dll could be malformed (is this the right term?).

That's the thing. The @error returns 0 which means it was successful!

@error being zero means that no errors occurred but that isn't the same as success.

What did you do in your dll to make it return an array? Did you return a pointer to the array?

Did you use stdcall?

#include <windows.h>


BOOL WINAPI  DllMain (
            HANDLE    hModule,
            DWORD     dwFunction,
            LPVOID    lpNot)
{
    return TRUE;
}

/* Add two integers */
_declspec (dllexport) int __stdcall sum(int a, int b){
    return((int)(a+b));}

The above code is what I had in my adder.c dll.

Post your Autoit code too.
