I'm attempting to load a support DLL.
My function is: (*CSTRING,*CSTRING),LONG,PASCAL
The code inside the function doesn't execute.
What could be the problem?
I checked to make sure the support dll exists in the tmpdir.
Thanks.

Wild stab, is the DLL compiled in LIB mode?

And, I might add, this is a previously-working DLL, but I added a new
function and now it ain't workin'. It was in "local" before, and it
was working fine.

So it is LIB mode.<g>
Another wild stab... Is the EXP mangled? It shouldn't be.
Do the original functions still work?

ok, you jogged my memory. Thanks Lee.
Yeah, the exp was right, but there was a dynamically linked DLL that I
needed to make available. There was a constructor that loaded the DLL
in a module-level class.

But either way, hopefully Friedrich will help me to decode that error
message so my wild stabs (in addition to yours) aren't so wild. :)

I was thinking BIG numbers like that were suffixed with standard Win32
errors, ie: 126 from WinError.h...

Hi Jeff,

the -9000xxxxx is just an internal indicator of where the problem occurred
in the SB runtime. xxxxx is the "real" GetLastError code.
return ( -900000000 - GetLastError() );
In your case, it's the GetLastError code from the failed LoadLibrary API
call (it returned NULL and GetLastError returned 126).
Exactly what Lee said:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx
ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND -> 126 (0x7E) -> The specified module could not be
found.

This one bit me again until I SetPath to the %TMPDIR% folder.
Seems to me that when LoadLibrary is done on support files, it should
use that %TMPDIR% to search for the dependencies by default.

Do you get this after you called your own DLL through "Call DLL
Function..."?
If your own DLL loads dependency files that are also located in %TMPDIR%
then enabling the "Use DLL path name as current working directory to load
DLL" checkbox will set the path to the %TMPDIR% folder. And after the DLL
returned, it will be set back to the original (current directory) path.

Maybe I should read the SB dialogs more often. Thanks Friedrich.
