Calling VB DLL From REXX

[mavest]

I wish to call a VB dll from rexx.

I've tried rxfuncadd, but seem to be missing something. The error message indicates that the dll was found, but not the function.

A friend suggested using the Dependency Walker to see what the VB dll had exposed, and sure enough the function was not exposed. This could be the problem, but I can't figure out how to get the VB to expose the function.

If anyone has hints on calling a VB dll from REXX, please help. Thanks!

Have you tried using RXSUBCOM? I haven't done OOREXX for years, but I found this in the help files;

RXSUBCOM LOAD loads a subcommand handler dynamic-link library. 

>>-RXSUBCOM---LOAD---envname---+---------+---------------------><

                               '-dllname-'

 
 Parameters: 

 

envname 

The name of the subcommand handler. 


libname 

The name of the dynamic-link file containing the subcommand handler routine. 
 

 Return codes: 

 

0  The dynamic-link library was located and loaded successfully. 

50  The dynamic-link library was not located or could not be loaded. 

-1  A parameter is missing or incorrectly specified.
