DLLCall(): How to use it correctly for BLAT.DLL?

[rudi]

Hi.

This is my first try to use DLLCall() , so pls be patient >_<

The latest version of blat can be found here.

I've found a web page describing the use of BLAT.DLL for VB and V-Foxpro6 here.

So I tried this one, which doesn't work. The LOG file isn't created at all, so I suspect, that the DLL call itself doesn't work?

$teststring='-server 10.27.1.5 -f sender@foo.com -to admin@bar.com -bodyF c:\somebody.txt -subject "just a long subject with spaces" -priority 1 -attach C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe'

$debug = " -debug -log c:\blatdebug.log"

; this doesn't seem to work at all.
BlatCall($teststring & $debug)

; this one works.
BlatExe($teststring & $debug)


Func BlatExe($CMDstring)
    $result=RunWait("C:\temp\blat\blat262\full\blat.exe " & $CMDstring)
    MsgBox(0,"Exit Code",$result)
    Run ("notepad c:\blatdebug.log")
EndFunc



Func BlatCall($CMDstring)
    $BlatDLL="C:\temp\blat\blat262\full\blat.dll"
    $result=DllCall($BlatDLL,"int","send","str",$CMDstring)
    MsgBox(0,"Exit Code",$result)
    Run ("notepad c:\blatdebug.log")
EndFunc

What do I miss?

Regards, Rudi.

two things

DllCall returns an array

DllCall function names are case sensitive

Thanks, it's working now.

I'm 100% sure that I've replied to your post before. Mentioning the question, that the case sensitivity of DLLCall() could be described in the description box on top of the help file for DLLCall()

Well, anyhow: >_< Thanks for pointing me to the right direction
