Re: external DLL component

["Eduardo Castro CETHIL" <eduardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Werner,
 
I've been trying to do as you told me, but it didn't work. In fact, TRNSYS only works when the original extdll.dll in the /trnsys15 directory. When recompiling, I should also include the standard "C:\trnsys15\Include\extdll.lib" ? You see, when compiling a dll in Delphi, there is no .lib file...So I supposed the extdll.lib should be allways the same...

Hi Eduardo, 

Your DLL must be called EXTDLL.DLLand put in the userlib 
directory. 

It must also contain a function called EXTDLL, respecting the 
conventions given in the example (see \trnsys15\workspace\ExtDll\ExtDll.dsw 
for a DevStudio sample workspace or directly \trnsys15\Userlib\extdll.for 
for the calling conventions if you use another development environment). 

In IISiBat, you simply use the type 61 PROFORMA and configure it with 
the number of inputs, outputs, parameters and derivatives ou are using 
under the respective tabs. 

Hope this helps, 

Werner

Hi. I'm trying to developp a component to TRNSYS15 (in fact, a Delphi compiled dll) and the manual ("Calling an External dll")gives the impression that it's just a matter of compilling it and putting it in the "userlib" directory. If it is that simple, how can I access this new dll (component) ? And how can I use it within IISiBat? Can anyone clarify these subjects for me?
