Procedure in DLL

[lespaul]

I am trying to develop a DLL for my project so I don't have to have the same code in different forms. One of the things I want to put in the DLL is a procedure. Is this possible or can I only put functions? There is no return value for the procedure and I'm not sure of the syntax for the declaration. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

There are a couple of threads on DLL's that could help you , try searhing the forum .

The other thing is can you put your Procedures and routines into a unit for your application, a unit does not need to have a form and you can reference it from any of your forms.

Kind Regards, Paul Benn

Hi,

yes you can use also a procedure instead of a function. If you only want that your code is central then you should use a extra unit. This is much easier to program, especially during the testing of the code.

Thanks for the responses! I have already created a unit named WordFunctions. I put 2 or 3 functions that work fine. The problem with the procedure (I think) is that I did not put a return value in this statement:

function PaperCheck(ftype: string):integer;stdcall;
procedure LabelPrint(Word: variant;wrdDoc: variant; ftype: string;bararray: array of string):(expecting return type here!);stdcall;

But the procedure doesn't have a return! Do I need to have this particular procedure in it's own unit?

Thanks!
