Use functions in a dll

Postby Hansnet » Fri Apr 06, 2007 9:39 am

I have an activeX dll (build with Visual Basic 6.0) with all kinds of functions in it. I used it to extend another editor (Code Wright).
How can I reuse this dll in Ultraedit ? ... can I for example call it from out of a ue-macro ? ... and if yes, how ?

Maybe you can use some functions by using Rundll32.exe of Windows. See also the Microsoft support article Windows Rundll and Rundll32 Interface.

You have to setup a user tool with the Rundll32.exe. User tools can be executed from within macros. But a direct usage of the DLL is not possible.
