Howto return a String from c++ to vb

[Chris_CJM]

Hi,

I've tryed to return a string from my own made dll to visual basic but i'm unsuccesful doing this.

Does anybody know how to do this?

This is my code(this does'nt work!)

void DBSOCK_API test(LPSTR returnStr){

char buffer[]="1234 testing";
strcpy(returnStr,buffer);
}


and in visual basic:

Declare Sub test Lib "dbSock" (ByVal st As String)


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim myString
test (myString)
MsgBox myString
End Sub


The message box displayed nothing

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong

note that I'm using Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools.
