Help with dllcall and this dll file


 Share

Recommended Posts

First, I found this

http://dbftools.com/download/cdbfapi.zip

It's free but demo version... (real one is $25 or more)

Ok, so in it, I find this function.lst (a text file)... attached.

All I want to do at the moment is:

-Create (overwrite ok) a DBF file name is test.dbf in currect directory (@ScriptDir ok)

-Create 5 columns and under each, create 1 (or 2) rows of data (any data, really)

for testing purposes (for now).

I only got this far

$dll = DLLOpen("CDBFAPI.DLL")
$sPath = @ScriptDir & "\test.dbf"

$hDBF = DLLCall($dll, "ptr", "OpenBase", "str", $sPath)
MsgBox(0, "hDBF", $hDBF[0])
DLLClose($dll)

It seems to work but I don't know among those functions in the attached function.list,

which one do I use to create/write columns...

Can anyone help?

Thank you!!!

Here are some functions I find that may help me...

//  open database (open file, allocate memory, set options, 
//  read header, fields etc)
//  Input:  pointer to filename
//  Output: pointer to struct DBF or NULL if error

struct  DBF* OpenBase   (char *filename);

//  close database (close file, release memory etc)
//  Input:  pointer to DBF file
//
void    CloseBase   (struct DBF *d);

//  read fields and allocate memory
//  Input:  pointer to DBF file
//  Output: TRUE if OK, FALSE if error
//
BOOL    ReadFields  (struct DBF *d);

//  insert string in Character field into read/write area
//  Input:  pointer to DBF file, number of field, null-terminated string
//
void    SetString   (struct DBF *d, int n, char *s);

//  insert any value into read/write area
//  Input:  pointer to DBF file, number of field, null-terminated string, double value
//  if type of field 'C', 'M', 'G', 'L' - null-terminated string is used, value is ignored
//  otherwise - value is used, null-terminated string is ignored
//
void    SetValue    (struct DBF *d, int i, char *s, double b);
