Re: Multi VMR9 in VB6

From: "chris2000"

C --> void KEN_SetWindow(HWND m_hWnd , int set);
VB6 --> Public Declare Sub KEN_SetWindow Lib
"MultiVMR9Api.dll" (ByVal m_hWnd As Long, ByVal iSet As
Long)
and when i check
KEN_SetWindow me.hWnd,1
i take this message "Bad DLL calling convention"

C/C++ defaults to a __cdecl calling convention but VB6 only
supports __stdcall, which is the native Windows calling
convention.

If you can compile the DLL, either set the default calling
convention to __stdcall in the project's properties or
(better) explicitly declare each function as __stdcall. If
you can't, then you will need to write a proxy library that
uses __stdcall in a language that supports __cdecl (e.g.
C/C++ or any .NET language and many others) or give up VB6.
Notice that __stdcall does not support vararg calls.
