Hello All!
I write dll with Delphi to work with some Mapbasic application. When i call this dll rom mb application I want to "connect" with the same instance of Mapinfo that calls my dll. There is SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_APPDISPATCH) function in MapBasic, but i can't understand how to work with this function results. May be problem is in speciality of building dll, or in my unability to convert integer value to variant or interface variable to start working with Mapinfo. Dll has, for example, 2 procedures: procedure ConnectToMI(Ipointer: integer); stdcall; export; begin // MI - global dll variant variable to communicate with Mapinfo MI:= IDispatch(Pointer(Ipointer)) end; function TestConnect : integer; stdcall; export; begin // test function returning number of opened tables try Result:= MI.Eval('NumTables()') except Result:= -1; end; end; -- MapBasic usage of dll procedures First: call ConnectToMI(SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_APPDISPATCH)) Second: Note "Number of opened tables: " + TestConnect() Hope to "Mapinfo community" help.
