Getting an Object from a DLL

[NerdFencer 2]

I am attempting to get a handle from an object defined in a dll.

I cannot find any information on how to do this...

I have tried

ObjGet("Au3Irr.dll","CAu3Irr")

DllCall("Au3Irr.dll","none","CAu3Irr") ; in hopes of calling the constructor

Does anybody know?

You need to go thru registration process.

#RequireAdmin

$sDll = "Au3Irr.dll" ; full path

$aCall = DllCall($sDll, "dword", "DllRegisterServer")

If @error Then
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "Failed to register!" & @CRLF & "Error number " & @error)
    Exit
EndIf

If $aCall[0] Then
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x" & Hex($aCall[0]))
    Exit
EndIf

MsgBox(64, "OK", "DllRegisterServer succeeded!")

$oObj = ObjCreate("CAu3Irr")

If IsObj($oObj) Then
    MsgBox(64, "OK", "Object successfully created!")
Else
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "Object not created!")
EndIf

Exit

Thanks trancexx

Unfortunately, I am also writing the DLL, so I am now researching how to implement DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer...

[trancexx 927]

That's probably the easiest thing to do.

It's all about writing couple of registry keys (and deleting obviously).

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what to write...

I have implemented what I know for the script executing the registration...

Here is what I have

#RequireAdmin

RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}","","REG_SZ","Au3Irr 0.1")
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}\InprocServer32","","REG_SZ",@ScriptDir&"\Au3Irr.dll")
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}\VersionIndependentProgID","","REG_SZ","CAu3Irr")
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}\ProgID","","REG_SZ","CAu3Irr")

$sDll = "Au3Irr.dll" ; full path

$oObj = ObjCreate("CAu3Irr")

If IsObj($oObj) Then
    MsgBox(64, "OK", "Object successfully created!")
Else
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "Object not created!")
EndIf

RegDelete("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}")

Exit

Any Ideas on what is going wrong?

Yes. You miss one important registry key.

...I will edit.

Try this.

If it doesn't work then you likely did bad job with dll.

#RequireAdmin
;RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}","","REG_SZ","Au3Irr 0.1")
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}\InprocServer32", "", "REG_SZ", FileGetLongName(@ScriptDir) & "\Au3Irr.dll")
;RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}\VersionIndependentProgID","","REG_SZ","CAu3Irr")
;RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}\ProgID","","REG_SZ","CAu3Irr")
RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CAu3Irr\CLSID", "", "REG_SZ", "{F0BBA28D-6471-4b4e-B7EC-B3B1F082B47A}")


;$sDll = "Au3Irr.dll" ; full path

$oObj = ObjCreate("CAu3Irr")

If IsObj($oObj) Then
    MsgBox(64, "OK", "Object successfully created!")
Else
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "Object not created!")
EndIf

Exit

I think I messed up with the DLL (its my first time writing a dll)

Once the dll is working, I can put in the functionality I need, but for now, I have the function CreateDevice to use as a test.

Here is my source and project file for the dll (still relatively small).

Can you take a look?

You are confusing.

Go, learn...
