First time using DLL's

[gleem]

I am new in the arena of working with dll's from a programming perspective.

what I am trying to accomplish overall is to write a program that will parse DICOM header information. Currently, the DICOM viewer application I use has a DICOM that is used to perform such a function.

As a mere set of baby steps, I was looking at the function list for DLLOpen and saw this example:

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$result = DllCall($dll, "int", "MessageBox", "hwnd", 0, "str", "Some text", "str", "Some title", "int", 0)
DllClose($dll)

My question is this, if my data flow is to apply the DLL to a DICOM image to retrieve information would below be accurate?

$dll = DllOpen"dicomheader.dll dicomimage.xa"

Only one way to find out and that is to try. You will have to have the correct syntax though.

Check the return value and print it out using ConsoleWrite. This will let you know if it was successful.
