How to convert C++ header files to Delphi (pascal)??
Bo Berglund
Groups to borland.public.delphi, which seems to be a bit low-traffic.
Now when I have a proper newsreader I see I targeted the wrong group
before...
------------------
We need to interface to a DLL written by a Japanese company, which is
using Visual Studio 6 (C++). We have their 23 header files (*.h),
which can be used in C++ to define the calls inside the DLL.
They recommend we use VS6 to do the interfacing....
But we have been an exclusive Delphi developing team for the last 8-9
years and we know NIL about how to deal with the C++ headers, so we
cannot define the DLL calls to be usable by Delphi7.
We do have good documentation on why and how which functions need to
be called, it is only this stupid issue with the 23 header files that
stops us.
So my question is:
Is there a tool out there that can be used to read the C++ header
files and convert them into proper Delphi units that define the calls
into the DLL? We have looked at the Jedi Tools, but that converter
does not do the complete conversion, which is what we need. :-(
We use Delphi 7 Pro.
Thanks for any pointers on this!

I am a specialist for such conversions.
Please send me the .h files and the DLL directly.
Usually i do that for free.
BTW there are no tools available because it is easy enough to use
some regular expressions for the bulk of the work.
