I've created a string in a DLL and need to pass it to fenix. I tried using the "string_new" function, but i'm not sure if that's the right function. Or how to use the returned integer. Has anyone done this? ____________ :o |

String_new is good. Can you assign the return value of the function to a string in Fenix? My other best guess is you need to change type_dword to some type_string and Fenix will recognise the returned string id as such.

Don't forget to use string_use(), otherwise Fenix will discard the string immediately after the function returned the string. So: Code: static int HELLO_WORLD (INSTANCE * my, int * params) { int r = string_new("HELLO WORLD!"); string_use(r); return r; } And: FENIX_export ("HELLO_WORLD","",TYPE_STRING,HELLO_WORLD) ; Note that you can also name the function different in Fenix: FENIX_export ("BLAAT","",TYPE_STRING,HELLO_WORLD) ; Blaat() will return the same as Hello_World(). ____________ BennuWiki Yes, my avatar has grey borders in IE (so get a decent browser) ROOFLEZ ROOFLEZ |
