Using dll files
(511 Views)
Its been a while since I've use dlls for any projects, but recently after
acquiring a Velleman USB board I decided I'd like to make use of it.
The problem is, previously I experimented using eraserext.dll (from eraser)
within a plugin for another program and it didn't seem to get along very
well.
Can dll's be used from other dll's or plugins generally - I've assumed no
from past experience but I'd really like to create a plugin for an existing
program using Max components TPlugin which will make use of the USB
hardware. Unfortunately the only way to communicate with the hardware is
through a dll file!
Is this possible or am I going to end up chasing my tail round in circles

Parameters & dll
(445 Views)
My D7 app calls a dll to read memories from a radio. The dll produces a string, and
the length of the string. Calling one function in the dll works fine, but other
functions, using the same parms don't. It's the length that loses it.
procedure TfrmClone.SpeedButtonReadClick(Sender: TObject);
var
i, p: integer;
GetFreq: TGetFreq; //function(s: PChar; var slen: DWORD): LongBool; stdcall;
begin
dllFunc := 'GetFreq';
if ProcHandle 0 then
begin
GetFreq := GetProcAddress(ProcHandle, dllFunc);
if @getFreq nil then
begin
for i := 1 to LoopCtr do
begin
l := 0;
setlength(s,11); // s now contains some random garbage
if GetFreq(pChar(s),l, i) then // s is a global string, l is a global dword
RetFreq := s;
RetMode := GoForMode; // go get mode
..
..
..
end;
function TfrmClone.GoForMode: Shortstring;
var
GetMode: TGetMode; //function(s: PChar; var slen: DWORD): LongBool; stdcall;
begin
result := '';
dllFunc := 'GetMode';
if ProcHandle 0 then
begin
getMode := GetProcAddress(ProcHandle, dllFunc );
if @getMode nil then
begin
l := 0;
if GetMode(pChar(s),l) then
result := s;
end;
end;
end;
=========== In the dll ==============
function GetFreq(s: PChar; var slen: DWORD; chSet: integer): LongBool; stdcall;
//slen is 0
var
fr: string;
begin
result := false;
if chSet > 0 then
dll.SetChannel(chSet);
fr := dll.pollradio;
slen := length(fr); //slen is 7
if length(fr) > 0 then
begin
result := true;
strPLCopy(s, fr, slen);
end;
end;
function GetMode(s: PChar; var slen: DWORD):LongBool; // slen is Inaccessible here
var
mode: string;
begin
result := false;
mode := dll.PollRadio;
slen := length(mode); //AV
if slen > 0 then
begin
result := true;
strPLCopy(s, mode, slen);
end;
end;

bzip2.dll for download (or can someone compile it?)
(562 Views)
Hi all,
I'm out hunting for bzip2.dll for use with Delphi classes (DI or Jcl
Decompressors), but can't find a recent version ready compiled for Win32
Although google gives many hits on "bzip2.dll" but I don't trust
clicking any of those cheap .dll mouse traps which is now littering the
entire Internet.
Latest source (1.0.5 as of mars 2008) is available from here, http://www.bzip.org/downloads.html
Perhaps can anyone compile it for me (or give a hint about a secure
link for download).
Anyone

dcc70.dll troubles
(448 Views)
Suddenly today my D7(with all available updates) started AVing every few seconds in
dcc70.dll when editing. When it happens, the unit being edited becomes read only(but
not on disk). Also I get an AV on closing Delphi. Restarting Delphi has no effect.
I did a repair install, which ran so quickly, I don't believe it did anything.
2 things changed on the box yesterday, I don't know how to determine if either is a
cause.
I installed SP3 for Windows XP, and tried unsuccessfully to install Mike Lischke's
TThemeManager component(paraphrasing here - unit already compiled, then themes unit
compiled with a different version).
I have a couple of MadExcept logs I can put on attachments, if they're of any use.
There seems to be a lot on the web about this dll, but I didn't find a real fix. I
hope there is one, because this install is unusable.

accessing local drive when working with terminal server
(192 Views)
, a customer of mine changed the way they work with the network. Now
they use terminal server and all the client pc run my system directly from
the server local drive C:
I used to have a folder "C:\LocalOptions" in order to save some local
configuration files for each PC. Now all the PCs have the same LocalOption
folder, as they are running my app locally via terminal server. Is there any
way to see the local drive of the client PC when I'm within Terminal Server
I use Delphi 6.

Using a c dll with Delphi
(522 Views)
Hi!
From my Delphi program, I would like to use my dll compiled with c, but I
get a runtime error when the function is called.
The parameter is char* c type, that I translate in PChar in Delphi. (I only
have the problem using char*, if I do a similar function using int type in
C, and integer type in Delphi that works)
My dummy function "TextFunction()" should simply return the string passed
into parameter.
///////////////////////// c code : ////////////////////////
char* DLL_EXPORT TextFunction(char* text)
{
return (text);
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///
////////////////////////////// Delphi Code : ///////////////////////////////
Text: TextFunction( text: PChar) : PChar; stdcall;
function LoadDLL: boolean;
function LoadDLL: boolean;
begin
Result := false;
DLLtest := LoadLibrary('testdll.DLL');
if DLLtest 0 then
begin
Result := true; //DLL found
//Get the procedure addresses
@TextFunction:= GetProcAddress(DLLtest, 'TextFunction');
end;
end;
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong

THreads, dlls, and UDP
(435 Views)
Hej,
I have a service appication that starts three threads. These threads all
call a DLL to send a message using UDP. The dll uses the UDPClient
component (I think its called that). Somewhere in all this I find that the
call to send the message via UDP causes an exception.
This dll has been used many times over a long period of time, but never from
a thread, and never more than once per machine.
So I wonder if my dll needs to be "thread safe" and what does this mean Or
could it be that the calls to the UDPClient are occuring symultaneously and
therefore causing the problem
Any advice would be welcome.
