DLL

Hey,


I was wondering how I could export a set of routines into a .dll file...
I don't want to just add the functions to my template dir
And my .exe is growing in size, so I want to split the functions. And it'd be easier to debug... when I don't jump through all sorts of tested code!



Thanks


Thomas

To export them to a DLL, create a new ActiveX DLL and add the functions like you normally would to the module.

Code:

---

Public Sub Hello()
 
  MsgBox ("Hello")

End Sub

---

Then make a new Project, add Refrence to your DLL and use the code below to use it.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim myclass As Class1
    Set myclass = New Class1
    myclass.Hello
    Set myclass = Nothing
   
End Sub

---

Thanks, but isn't it possible to code a "decent" DLL ?

So I can Declare Function About lib "MyDLL" ?

I have not tested it yet, but I believe you can do that. There is a lib file that is created when you make your DLL so use Project1 as your lib.

Megatron:
If you've added a reference then there is no reason to set your classes up... unless I missed part of your conversation and your doing something with a class elsewhere. Once you add the reference you can simply state:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Hello
End Sub
