jwilliams 0 Posted September 9, 2006 Hello, I'm relatively new to dll access and Windows system programming, so please forgive me if this is a simple question. I'm dealing with a dll that I need to call directly. The documentation indicates that the dll needs a memory space allocated to it (up to 32kB). And in the documentation, it gives a Visual Basic example using GlobalAlloc (function in kernel32.dll). My questions are... 1) what's the difference between allocating memory for a dll using GlobalAlloc and DllStructCreate? 2) GlobalAlloc seems to simply allocate memory, whereas DllStructCreate assigns the memory a datatype or datatypes. Is this a critical difference? Thanks for any insight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
