HELP, Calling a DLL (TWAIN.DLL)
Hello everybody
I'm a new programmer in delphi and I need a little help. I have to call
a function that is in a DLL. The definition of the function in the DLL is as
follow.
this is the original declaration on C, it is defined in a file .h
typedef LPVOID TW_MEMREF;
typedef struct {
TW_UINT32 Id; /* Unique number. In Windows, app hWnd */
.
.
.
TW_STR32 ProductName; /* Product name, e.g. "ScanJet Plus" */
} TW_IDENTITY, FAR * pTW_IDENTITY;
/* Numeric types. */
typedef unsigned short TW_UINT16, FAR *pTW_UINT16;
typedef unsigned long TW_UINT32, FAR *pTW_UINT32;
TW_UINT16 FAR PASCAL DSM_Entry
( pTW_IDENTITY pOrigin, // source of message
pTW_IDENTITY pDest, // destination of message
TW_UINT32 DG, // data group ID: DG_xxxx
TW_UINT16 DAT, // data argument type: DAT_xxxx
TW_UINT16 MSG, // message ID: MSG_xxxx
TW_MEMREF pData // pointer to data
);
pOrigin this a pointer to an structure
pDest this a pointer to an structure, sometimes it has to take a NULL
value
pData this a pointer to an structure
Refers to the TW_xxxx structure or variable that will be used
during the operation. Its type is specified by the DAT_xxxx.
This parameter should always be typecast to TW_MEMREF when it
is being referenced.
how can I define this function in delphi, and call it?
I have tried diferent ways of defining it, but when i call the function DSM_entry
I get an error that I don't understand. I think the error is because the way
I make the definition in delphi
Well, I think I need a lot of help.
If someone can help me, please answer to
lte...@udc.es
A lot of thanks in advance
