using dllcall

basel1998 · February 13, 2014

hello

ive tried to use this autoit code

$dll = @ScriptDir & "\dll.dll"
MsgBox(64,"dll",$dll)
$one = dllcall($dll,"str","Test","test","teeest")
MsgBox(64,"dll",$one)

but its always returning 0

dll written in vb.net

Public Class Test
    Public Function test(ByVal Value1 As String)
        MsgBox(Value1, MsgBoxStyle.AbortRetryIgnore, "test")
        Return "Test"
    End Function
End Class

What is your purpose? Describe it a bit more......

What is your purpose? Describe it a bit more......

i want to run function using dllcall

and the dll is compiled in vs2010

trancexx · February 13, 2014

You should read documentation for DllCall function. You will see that @error is set in case of failure. Based on that value you can then see why you got 0.

DllCall is function for advanced users, so if you aren't one the problems you experience are very much expected.

Are you experienced with VB at least? Is your function really exported function?

Mobius · February 13, 2014

Hi basel1998,

$one = dllcall($dll,"str","test","str","teeest")

IF @ERROR THEN

MsgBox(16,"dll",@ERROR)

ELSE

MsgBox(64,"dll",$one[0])

ENDIF

Typed on my phone so sorry if incorrect.

The return value from dllcall is an array, as mentioned you should check @Error after the call.

The name of the dll function is case sensitive, so Test is not the same as test, plus you put the string test where you should have declared the function parameter type as str.

new error

#include <Array.au3>
$dll = @ScriptDir & "\86.dll"
MsgBox(64,"dll",$dll)
$one = dllcall($dll,"str","Test","str","teeest")
IF @ERROR THEN
MsgBox(16,"dll",@ERROR)
ELSE
MsgBox(64,"dll",$one[0])
ENDIF

error number 3

and

$one = dllcall($dll,"str","test","str","teeest")

returns 2

same vb.net code

Come now thats easy if you read the manual or even what I posted.
The error value 3 means the function name was not found, why?
Because you are still using an uppercase T in the function name when the exported function in vb is test.
$dll = @ScriptDir & "\86.dll"
MsgBox(64,"dll",$dll)
$one = dllcall($dll,"str","test","str","teeest")
IF @ERROR THEN
MsgBox(16,"dll",@ERROR)
ELSE
MsgBox(64,"dll",$one[0])
ENDIF

still gives 3

libraries created by means of VB.NET and C# aren't dynamically connected and are used only in NET Framework similar languages, for this purpose it is necessary to edit dll and edit dll

Viktor1703 · February 13, 2014

Really doesn't work, I can only advise to write on something another as this option extremely not reliable and will work under control of NET Framework if it isn't present, Dll won't be started

For an example

Pure С
C++
Delphi
PureBasic
etc.

It seems I made, for me works (Windows 8 x64)

Code C#

using System.IO;

public class Test
{
    public static string MyTestForYou(string Value1)
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\\realygoooooooooooooooood");
        return "Test";
    }
}
