AdmWiggin A	Hello. I am trying to run a function out of an mIRC DLL in Delphi (it is an mIRC Function), and here is what i have so far(this part works)... it is the actual running of this function that is giving me problems :tongue: : Code: function nameiwant(mWnd, aWnd: HWND; var data, parms: PChar; show, nopause:boolean): integer; external 'path\dllname.dll' name 'actualname'; i go to call it in many different ways, and they all compile just fine, but result in an error Can anyone help me?

AdmWiggin A	Ok, I get the impression that you misunderstood me. here goes : I have an mIRC Dll... it is already compiled etc. I am trying to use a function out of that DLL in a Delphi program. I have tried many things, but it all comes up with an invalid write of address. the above code is my definition code in Delphi (defining the function), it is just how i call it that I am wondering... Thanks in advance...

Well, I don't have much experience using the external declaration, but presumably the problem is that you haven't defined your function as using the stdcall calling convention.

AdmWiggin A	well, i would post a link, but... well... i dont have a link to post someone else had the dll in their script, and i just used it... it is a very common dll in MSN Messenger scripts : ssl.dll im beary confused! edit: here is my current code (with stdcall put in there ): Code: function msnp(mWnd, aWnd: HWND; var data, parms: PChar; show, nopause:boolean): integer; stdcall; external 'MSN\ssl.dll' name 'msnp8'; function ssl(data2: PChar): String; var data,parms: PChar; mWnd,aWnd: HWND; show,nopause: boolean; begin data := pchar(username + ' > ' + pword + ' > ' + data2); parms := ''; mWnd := Chatting.Handle; aWnd := mWnd; show := false; nopause := true; msnp(mWnd,aWnd,data,parms,show,nopause); ssl := string(data); end; 'username' and 'pword' are predefined to be the username and password of the user. Chatting is my main form. Last edited by AdmWiggin; 25/02/04 01:39 PM.
