Subject: | RE: [Caml-list] Looking for sample DLL |
The reason I was looking for a sample is that it will take me probably a couple of days just getting the makefile right etc. Therefor, much easier to just take someone else code and tweak it a little. > I cannot understand this. DLL and COM are not concepts of the > same level. That's like to say "I prefer fruits to oranges" :-) COM's are implemented as a DLL, I have been unclear. What I need is to be able using the old win16/32 dll-calling convention, not using the modern COM-convention. The reason is that VBA doesn't support the COM supported by camlidl, it only supports IDISPATCH. (I made some COM-stuff in my life, but I do not like it, especially if you need to use C++. Now at last in dotnet seems Microsoft gotten it right without wizards that creates enormous amounts of code I don't understand.) I would like to keep it as simple as possible, thus the dll-calling convention is enough. I will only call a few functions and I only need to return integers. (Thus no need to mess with BSTR, which would be needed if I would return strings from ocaml to vb). /mattias ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
