Connecting dll in dhtml

[John Henn IPresent]

v9.01 dhtml

Hi Folks

I need to link to a dll which controls hardware. The dll cannot be linked as an extension and so I cannot use the action editor.
However, I can link and "operate" the dll using openscript:

Linking:
to handle buttonclick
linkDLL "dgb.dll"
--Declare the functions function that are to be used
INT InitDgb() -- Boolean
INT SetOutputs(int) -- Boolean
INT ReadInputs(int) -- Boolean
end
get initDgb()
end
Operation (setting the hardware)

to handle buttonclick
get SetOutputs(7) -- Boolean
text of field "errorCheck" = it
forward
end

The dll cannot be changed so the solution seems to be to create a linking application that calls and controls the dll but is itself an active X control which can be linked to Toolbook as an extension.

Can anyone help us create such an application? The application and dll will be installed on the appropriate PC, so there should be no security issues.

All the best

John Henn
