how do you use this osc? Behr

ochie I have a routine that passes a value and that works fine.... just having problem with the array that needs a variable name. thanks behr

ochie The EasyLanguage Extension Software Development Kit states: The EasyLanguage analysis technique that calls the DLL function must declare the DLL function in an external statement. This requirement applies to the DLL only if the DLL uses the SDK. This is not a requirement of DLL’s that do not use the SDK. If the DLL does not use the SDK then either the external reserved word or the legacy reserved word DefineDLLFunc may be used to declare DLL functions. I have tried it with the DefineDLLFunc and i get the same problem. - compile error code:: incorrect argument type behr

tams yes i have read the manual. It basicaly says to pass the variable. obviously i am missing something as my EL code does compile. The DLL builds ok... as i have tested it with other routines... behr

I am new to EL and was hoping someone can direct me: I am not sure how to pass the Variable name form EL in Multicharts to a DLL routine. I cant see any routine which gets the name. for example if iam trying to call the following DLL from EL: void __stdcall MyArraySort( IEasyLanguageObject* pELObj, char* MyArrayName ) // example form MC/TS SW dev kit my easylanguage code is: Function Code: EXTERNAL: "example.dll", void, "MyArraySort", IEasyLanguageObject {self}, LPSTR {myArrayName}; variables: index(0); arrays: myArray[11](0); // fill array with some data for index = 10 downto 1 begin myArray[index] = 10-index;end; // call MyArraySort MyArraySort( self, myArray); with the above code i get the wrong argument type... Thanks for the help Behr
