| If you want to use a function in an external .dll in your Blitz program, you need to use Userlibs. In the Blitz folder is a folder called userlibs. You would normally put the .dll you want to use in here (and later when you distribute your program, it must also be in the program's folder). You also need to kake a .decls file (although many of the .dlls for Blitz come with a ready made one). This involves making a file in Notepad with the top line saying .lib "whatever.dll" and then one or more lines specifiying the functions that you want to use in the .dll. There is a file in the userlibs folder called UserLibs.txt, read this for more info. Hope this helps. |

| Someone needs to make an "userlibs for dummies" article, not just about how to set it up, but also about MSDN and how to use it in your Blitz projects with plenty examples (small few-lines examples, not megasources with a million things to read). Which describes terms like QueryObject, HWND etc. Really @ n00b-level, not average or pro, just n00b .. |
