Help translating a VB dll wrapper into autoit

[eleria]

Hi it's my first post in here, and i already got some problems.

Anyway, i would like to translate this into autoit :

expandcollapse popup

VERSION 5.00
Begin VB.Form Form1 
   Caption       =   "Form1"
   ClientHeight =   3195
   ClientLeft     =   60
   ClientTop       =   345
   ClientWidth   =   4680
   LinkTopic       =   "Form1"
   ScaleHeight   =   3195
   ScaleWidth     =   4680
   StartUpPosition =   3  'Windows Default
   Begin VB.ListBox lstSections 
      Height          =   2595
      Left          =   120
      TabIndex      =   0
      Top            =   240
      Width        =   2055
   End
End
Attribute VB_Name = "Form1"

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim hHero As Long

    nTotalSections = shlib_GetSectionsList(hHero, 0)
    
    ' now we pass in an array of long integers to get the section names
    Dim anarray() As Long
    ReDim anarray(nTotalSections - 1) As Long
    shlib_GetSectionsList hHero, VarPtr(anarray(0))
    
    ' display the section names in the list box

    rc = shlib_CompileHero(hHero, "C:\Hero04_backup.pax")

    ' the following functions test the DLLs gzip capabilities
    '
    
    ' test Compress

    comp = 1024
    Dim abc As Long: abc = shlib_Compress(strr, comp, "hellooooooooooooooooooooo thereeeeeeeeeeeeee!", Len("hellooooooooooooooooooooo thereeeeeeeeeeeeee!"), 9)
    
    ' test Uncompress

    destt = String(1024, Chr(0))
    Dim desttlen As Long
    desttlen = 1024
    abc = shlib_Uncompress(destt, desttlen, strr, comp)
    
End Sub

But sofar i only came out with that (Yeah its uncomplete and probably buggy : /) :

$dll = dllopen("shlib.dll")
$hHero = DllCall  ( $dll, "int" , "shlib_CreateHero")
MsgBox(0, "", $hHero[0])
$rc = DllCall ($dll, "int", "shlib_DecompileHero" , "Int", $hHero[0], "str", "Hero00.pax")
msgbox (0, "", $rc[0])
$TotalSections = DllCall ($dll, "int", "shlib_GetSectionsList", "int", $hHero[0], "int", 0)
msgbox (0, "", $TotalSections[0])
$size = DllCall ($dll, "int", "shlib_GetHeroSection", "int", $hHero[0], "int", 0xc7, "int", "0")
msgbox(0,"", $size[0])
$data = dllcall ($dll, "int", "shlib_GetHeroSection", "int", $hHero[0], "int", 0xc7, "int", $dat)

If anyone out there feels like helping me a lil' bit i would appreciate

Link to the DLL

Link to a hero file for testing purpose
