I wanted to ask for some help. I know, that there are a lot of places, where i can get this information. But, anyway, I have a problem connecting a Delphi DLL to my C++ Builder project.
For example, my Delphi DLL looks like:
library f_dll;
uses
SysUtils,
Classes,
Forms,
Windows;
procedure HW(AForm : TForm);
begin
MessageBox(AForm.Handle, 'DLL message', 'you made it!',MB_OK);
end;
exports
HW;
{$R *.res}
begin
end.
And this is how i connect a DLL and a function inside:
//defining a function pointer type
typedef void (*dll_func)(TForm* AForm);
dll_func HLLWRLD = NULL;
HMODULE hDLL = LoadLibrary("f_dll.dll");
if (!hDLL) ShowMessage("Unable to load the library!");
//getting adress of the function
HLLWRD = (dll_func)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "_HW");
if (!pShowSum) ShowMessage("Unable to find the function");
HLLWRLD(Form1);
FreeLibrary(hDLL);
I have no mistake messages from compiler, I only have my Message Box saying, that dll is not connected. I have put my dll in project folder, in Debug folder. but there is just no connection.
Please, I am asking you to help me. What is my mistake?
EDIT: i've posted C++ code with mistakes, so here is the right one (this is for people, that have similar problems):
//defining a function pointer type
typedef void (*dll_func)(TForm* AForm);
dll_func HLLWRLD = NULL;
HMODULE hDLL = LoadLibrary("f_dll.dll");
if (!hDLL) ShowMessage("Unable to load the library!");
//getting adress of the function
HLLWRD = (dll_func)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "HW"); //HW instead _HW
if (!HLLWRLD) ShowMessage("Unable to find the function"); //HLLWRLD instead pShowSum
HLLWRLD(Form1);
FreeLibrary(hDLL);
