Calling Dll Function by Function Pointer

[Sonia Kumar]

Hello all,

I need to call the Functions of a Win32 dll (not a Com dll). For that I called
the LoadLibrary API to load the dll into the process space of my application,
and the GetProcAddress to get the address of the desired function. Now, how
can I use this function pointer to call the function of the dll.

Any help in this direction will be really helpful.

Thanx

Look in the VB help documentation for the "Declare" keyword.

Sonia,
first of all do your self a big favor - get "Visual Basic programmers guide
to the Win32 API" written by Daniel Appelman. As an alternative check
www.allapi.com for some utility download, but don't be confused with it -
you should get that book anyway. This will get you started.

Regards,
Roy
