how to use this dll ?!

[Armand]

was wandering if i can get an example...

it's help file & reasme are attached !

Just look on other script using dll's and view them with the dll viewer. Next view all adresses and functions in your dll and write the code. I hope i have helped you in some way

[Armand]

i've read the "how to use" of that file and i know the functions, however, AU3 returns an error - can't use dll...

so if someone can write me example script and check that .dll file it'll be better !!! thanks in advance !

Best thing for me would be to see what you've tried first. Then I could check the help file for the function you've used and see if I can see the problem. The way you've asked is a non starter for me.

i've tried:

$ret = DllCall("ELImageCompare.dll","long","Compare","str","0.jpg","str","1.jpg")
If @error>0 Then MsgBox(0,"err",@error)
MsgBox(0,"",$ret)

msgbox pops with:

err
1

and then with:

0

now... any idea ?!

P.S- dllcall's return values:

Return Value

Success: @error = 0. 
Failure: @error = 1 unable to use the DLL file, 
 @error = 2 unknown "return type", 
 @error = 3 "function" not found in the DLL file.

Not that I've downloaded this, but if it's an activex dll, you may be approaching it in the wrong direction as far as the calls are concerned.

[Armand]

it is an activeX, what should i do then ?! or AU3 doesn't support it ?!

No, it can call the activeX I'm sure, I was playing with it, but I don't have Framework 1.1 on this PC (You'll note how it says .NET all over the place)...

I would have thought it to be something like:

$sDLL = @HomeDrive & "\Development\AutoIt\Forum\ELImageCompare.dll"
$jpg1 = @MyDocumentsDir & "\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Blue hills.jpg"
$jpg2 = @MyDocumentsDir & "\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Sunset.jpg"

$oELIComp = _DLLObjCreate($sDLL, "ELImageCompare")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "The object was not created.")
    Exit
EndIf

$nVal = $oELIComp.Compare($jpg1, $jpg2)
MsgBox(64, 'Value', $nVal)

Func _DLLObjCreate($strDLL, $sCreate)
    Local $oDLL = ObjCreate($sCreate)
    If IsObj($oDLL) Then Return $oDLL
    RunWait('Regsvr32 /s "' & $strDLL & '"')
    $oDLL = ObjCreate($sCreate)
    If IsObj($oDLL) Then Return $oDLL
    Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndFunc

But I can't really test it to even play with the different options.

Are there no examples of use anywhere on how to call it?

Seems someone understood it more than myself, and I guess found the right documentation:
