Hi out there
Is there a way to force DBpro (Compiler) to include one of the standard (internal) Dll´s? normally it happens when a command of the dll is used in the code.
Is there a way to include a dll, not used in the code?

Pardon my asking, but, why would you want to?

As for how to compile it without putting it in the code, i suppose this is possible but it would be easier to make a function with the code and then never call the function...

Do not EVER question my authority, respect me, i've ridden on the hood of a minivan going 95mph!...then when the driver stoped i jumped on the back...

If you add it to the plugins folder, it might take it from there - however you should probably make a dummy function inside your .dll that is called, even if it's just a 'loaded ok' check because it would probably only add the .dlls that are used (like for 3D, for memblocks, for sound etc) and the basic .dll set (like for basic logic, memory handling).

Just include a command from a particular DLL in a section of the code which is never executed.

eg:

function neverRun()
..
..
endfunction

Ok, that with the command in the code is not the newest thing (as I said in my first post...)

I want to know if there is an other way to do this...

With IanM's Interface, he has a couple if DBPro examples, which have use a command from each of the different sections. I use that to make sure all the DLL's are used, specifically :



Then the call to the DLL goes before the END command

Currently the compiler has the DLL dependencies hard-coded - there is no way you can access these.

Mike did tell me that there is going to be a way for you to specify the dependencies for your DLL yourself, but he didn't tell me how that would work.

For free Plug-ins, source and the DBPro Interface library for Visual C++ 6 and .NET

@IanM
That was the information I looked for. As soon as Mike tell you how to... I´m eager to hear that. Thx a lot.

To code or not to be...
