A dll is getting called in AX as,

------------------------------------------------------------------START----

x=7;

dll winapidll=new dll("ABC.dll");

dllfunction function=new dllfunction(WinApiDLL,'_Distributeamount@40');

Function.args(extTypes::DWord,extTypes::String,extTypes::String,extTypes::String,extTypes::String,extTypes::Double,

extTypes::String,extTypes::String,extTypes::String );

Function.returns(extTypes::DWord);

x=Function.call(this.hwnd(),prm1,prm2,prm3,prm4,prm5,prm6,prm7,prm8);

this.bold(1);

return x;

---------------------END------------------

I need to call this DLL in Dexterity.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

Nilotpal

i Placed the DLL in system32 folder. When i try to register the ABC.dll with regsvr32 i get the error as "The module ' DLL name' was loaded but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found. "

how can i register that?

Re: how to convert this AX code to Dex code

I am not sure if all your DLLs are loaded in Windows\System32, if not, then your DLLs will need to be registered (regsvr32.exe) before they main DLL (ABC.dll) can "see" them. Also, you will need to verify that ABC.dll is registered.

how to convert this AX code to Dex code

thanks Gomez,

but i am getting the "Clould not call external .dll.. "error.Basically this function "DistributeAmount " will open a window of a different application(say, DFG ).

This dll is interlinked with other DLL which are in the path "c:\program files\DFG".So,this ABC.dll is like the gateway to all the dll`s of that application(DFG).

Please let me know about your ideas to solve this.

thanks,

function returns long;
local string param1, param2, param3, param4, param5, param6, param7, param8;
local long x;
extern '_DistributeAmount@ABC.dll', x, param1, param2, param3, param4, param5, param6, param7, param8;
return x;
