Making DLL's

[Pet]

Hello everybody.

I got some tip from Stuart Laidlaw earlier today about the easiest way to distribute patches etc. If I want to split up my program in DLL's. How can I then make the DLL's without VB checking for variables and different forms which I don't have in the DLL.
(My exe-file is about 2 mb.)

This may be a little confusing, but my main language is Norwegian soo it's a bit difficult to ekspress my self correctly.

Just make sure you don't access any properties of a form outside the forms code.

To get data from one dll to another you can pass variables as parameters between them, same as you can pass between modules or procedures within one app.

Example for passing parameters in a one app situation:

Private Sub commandbutton1_click()
 
Call first
 
End Sub
 
Sub first()
Dim strBla As String
strBla = "Hello I made it to the other sub!"
 
Call second(strBla)
 
End Sub
 
Sub second(ByVal strMsgString As String)
 
MsgBox strMsgString
 
End Sub

You can place both subs in one project or in two dlls. will work the same.

hth,
