    Definetly. The whole API forum is about using dlls. Which Dll do you need to use exactly? Cause each dll must be called differently.

    well if you dont know any function names or parametres to pass to those unknown fucntions then its pretty much impossible unless its an activex dll, you can look at the dll with depends.exe to get a few ideas.

    If you didn't get any examples, you could try the mfg's website to see if they have a Software Development Kit available, which should have samples in it. That is, unless they don't want anyone writing software for their device, but that wouldn't make business sense.

    Re: accessing the dll in vb

    I've noticed once while using the dependency viewer on certain DLL's that they wouldshow it as having no functions... but I have actually SEEN these "invisible" functions resising in the DLL...

    Anyone got any explanation as how this is possible?
    If my post has been helpful, then please rate it accordingly...
