Re: [DUG]: Dll Function Name

[Nello Sestini]

(Thus speaketh the Delphi Help):   Importing functions from DLLs   To import routines from a dynamic-link library, attach a directive of the form   external stringConstant;   to the end of a normal procedure or function header, where stringConstant is the name of the .DLL file in single quotation marks. For example,   function SomeFunction(S: string): string; external 'strlib.dll';   imports a function called SomeFunction from STRLIB.DLL. You can import a routine under a different name from the one it has in the DLL. If you do this, specify the original name in the external directive:   external stringConstant1 name stringConstant2;   where the first stringConstant gives the name of the .DLL file and the second stringConstant is the routine’s original name. For example, the following declaration imports a function from USER32.DLL (part of the Windows API).   function MessageBox(HWnd: Integer; Text, Caption: PChar; Flags: Integer): Integer;   stdcall; external 'user32.dll' name 'MessageBoxA';   The function’s original name is MessageBoxA, but it is imported as MessageBox. Instead of a name, you can use a number to identify the routine you want to import:   external stringConstant index integerConstant;   where integerConstant is the routine’s index in the DLL export table.   -ns ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Coulter To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2001 08:44 Subject: [DUG]: Dll Function Name HI all.   I have a function the maps to a function in a DLL. i.e. function reset(szType: PChar): Smallint; stdcall; external 'mydll';   is there a way that I can make like an Alias to this function ? The problem is, that ReSet is a valid function that I use when I open a test file, so it craps out.   anyone got any Ideas ?   Cheers, Jeremy Coulter
