Call to a DLL

Classic Servoy
1

We have developed a forecasting model using ABSOFT (Fortran). We can compile to a *.exe or a DLL. Let me say - I’m no Windows Programmer (FileMaker/Web Dev. background)!

I see that we can send data to the *.exe via application.executeProgram. What about using DLLs? The standard WIN32 API DLL or a CDECL one? I wouldn’t have a clue! The DLL requires an array of 52 elements and returns an array of 55.

If working with DLLs get’s too difficult we might just stick with the .exe (can you run application.executeProgram pointing to an IP address?).

BTW - Servoy looks like it is going to take us where FM could only dream of going…

Does anyone have experience working with DLLs?

Many thanks in advance!

:D

DLL’s are shared libraries.
Other apps can use them if they want, not sure if Java apps can though.

What are you trying to do exactly ?

if you want to call function in a dll then you need to make youre own servoy plugin that does the native talk to that dll.
