How to use data in 'data' with multithreaded DLL? #105214 13/12/04 08:58 PM

But it takes some time to execute so I'd rather use it multithreaded so my mIRC won't freeze. I know calling is done like this: $dllcall(filename, alias, procname, data) But I don't know how to use the the data that is returned in the 'data' variable in an alias. I just want to /msg it to $chan... How do I do this?

The DLL call is made through a remote script, but since it is called multithreaded, the only thing I can do is execute an alias after the DLL has completed execution. What I want to do is /msg the data in 'data' to a channel. //saying it doesn't work because nothing is returned directly. This will just call the specified alias.

Forget making the dll multithreaded, make the "thread" earlier by using a zero seconds /timer to call the /say command. That'll let you carry on doing whatever while the dll is running and while the /say command says whatever it returns Yesterday it worked Today it doesn't work Windows is like that.

You could use the memory mapped file feature in mIRC to send the text.

Declaration:

Code:

#include &lt;windows.h&gt;
#include &lt;pcrt32.h&gt;

long	WM_MCOMMAND = WM_USER + 200;

typedef struct {
	DWORD  mVersion;
	HWND   mHwnd;
	BOOL   mKeep;
} LOADINFO;


class mIRC {
public:
	int mSendMessage(char *);
	HWND hWnd;
};

int mIRC::mSendMessage(char *sText)
{
	if (!hWnd) return 0;
	
	void *hFile;
	void *pData;

	hFile = CreateFileMapping(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE,NULL,PAGE_READWRITE,0,1024,"mIRC");

	if (!hFile)
		MessageBox(hWnd,(char *)"Can't create a file mapping object.",(char *)"Error...",MB_OK);

	pData = MapViewOfFile(hFile,FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS,0,0,0);

	if (!pData)
		MessageBox(hWnd,(char *)"Can't map view of the file.",(char *)"Error...",MB_OK);
	
	if (pData) {
		_fstrcpy((char *)pData,sText);

		SendMessage(hWnd,WM_MCOMMAND,1,0);

		UnmapViewOfFile(pData);
		CloseHandle(hFile);
		
		return 0;
	}
	return 1;
}

Code:

int __stdcall SampleFunction(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL print, BOOL nopause)
{	
	mIRC mObject;
	mObject.hWnd = mWnd;
	mObject.mSendMessage("/msg #chan This is a string");
	return 0;
}
