C Compatible String

[tamara3776]

Hi Everyone,
I am writing a dll for another piece of software that will only accept a C compatible string. The software will pass a string to my dll which then in turn will return a string. I have everything working fine accept that the software will not accept the string I return as it states it is not C compatible. Does anyone know of a way in delphi to return a C compatible string. I have read that AnsiString will do the trick but I have never used it. Can someone please let me know.

Thanks

Try returning pChar from you dll. Just change type of return value and cast your string to pChar on return.
