Hello Antonio

I have a cash register with Windows CE.NET 4.20
The program works very well.

Now I have to link with a DLL , I need only 3 functions
1) DLL FUNCTION RCHOpen() AS LONG PASCAL FROM "RCHOpen" LIB "RCHGlobe.dll"
2) DLL FUNCTION RCHClose() AS LONG PASCAL FROM "RCHClose" LIB "RCHGlobe.dll"

This 2 functions works and return correctly 0

3) DLL FUNCTION RCHSendData(sIn AS STRING ,sOut AS STRING) AS LONG PASCAL FROM "RCHSendData" LIB "RCHGlobe.dll"

VB.NET Code is = Public Shared Function RCHSendData(ByVal a As String, ByVal b As String) As Int32 )

I call the function

sIn := AnsiToWide("=K")
sOut := AnsiToWide(space(40))
nRet := RchSendData(sIn,sOut)

But return always an error
(I try without AnsiToWide)

Antonio , are you able to give me some clue as to solve this problem ?

Regards MAurizio

I know that this problem could be due to the cash.

Try AS LPSTR instead of the two AS STRING.

It may be that the DLL command is not fully implemented in FWPPC yet.

Antonio?

Enrico,

The DLL command is fully working.

Maurizio, what error code do you get ?

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2006 8:34 am**

The Function RCHSendData return -104 , parameters non correctly.

Maurizio,

Have you tried to supply the parameters without calling AnsiToWide() ?

Please use LPSTR as Enrico has pointed,

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2006 12:14 pm**

Yes I tryed without AnsiToWide() and with LPSTR
but without success

Maurizio,

I suggest you that you try a C wrapper, without using DLL FUNCTION to see if that makes a difference.

Code: Select all

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <hbapi.h>

HB_FUNC( RCHSENDDATA )
{
   hb_retnl( RCHSendData( hb_parc( 1 ), hb_parc( 2 ) ) );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

You need to link RCHGlobe.lib.

I Try

implib.exe RCHGlobe.lib RCHGlobe.DLL

but when I link RCHGlobe.lib i had

Did you use MSVCE implib?

Enrico

nella cartella VCE non trovo implib.exe

Usa LINK.EXE con lo switch /IMPLIB (link /? per le varie opzioni).
