What is and how to use .dll in AutoIt?

[FrancescoDiMuro]

Hi guys! How are you? Hope you're fine
I was thinking about .dll files and, I always wanted to know what they are and how to use them in AutoIt.
If someone would like to explain it to me, even with a practice example, I'd be very very happy! Thanks

Here I would like to know something more detailed... If you could explain me something about, I'd be very happy  
Thanks

The example is pretty straight forward, what more do you need or what are you not understanding? You did actually read through it completely I am assuming.

Hey @JLogan3o13!
Yes, I read it, but what I was looking for is something like a "tutorial" on the creation of .dll through 
 

DllStructCreate()

@RTFC: the "Definition" link doesn't work  

@JLogan3o13
What are they used for? That's what I'd like to learn Thanks

They being DLL?  I am sure you can find that answer yourself!

And how are they used in AutoIt? Thanks Jos

That is described in the helpfile. Just look at the DLL* functions.

@Jos
Hey Jos, I'm trying to insert a text that contains quotes in a SQLite database, and I don't know how to do.
I tried with 
 

Local $sString = "1P6AV2104'0HA04'0AA0"
StringReplace($sString, "'", "''")

but I didn't managed to, obtaining this error:
 

--> Error:    unrecognized token: "0HA04"

How can I manage to solve this problem? Thanks

This has little to do with DLLs. Create a new thread for that.

Fixed; sorry about that.

Well, I amended my initial Wikipedia reflex post when I actually read the article, which was not aimed at entry-level coders. To my surprise, the msdn one (link restored now) proved more accessible reading, but I accidentally appended the link ref instead of replacing the Wikipedia one, because I'm sloppy, and didn't check that the link actually worked, because I'm lazier than a comatose sloth.
