He means you can use API.Here an example of importing kernel32.dll:

You mentioned CreateProcess, are you using the WinAPI CreateProcess? Or are you referring to a process created with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()? Either way you can use this class to bind to a process if you have its PID or even just the process name (executable). Once bound use the Handle property to get the HWND.

here some code i used for the winamp api

<br />
[DllImport("user32.dll")]<br />
public static extern int FindWindow(string c,int d);<br />
[DllImport("user32.dll")]<br />
public static extern int SendMessage(int hWnd,int msg, int wparam, int lparam);<br />

hope it helps Smile | :)

Exporting functions

Hi, dunno if this can be done or how... Confused | :confused:

text from MIRC help file:

This section contains technical information for programmers who want to create DLLs for use with mIRC.

The routine in the DLL being called must be of the form:

int __stdcall procname(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause)

The question is how would implement such a function in C# the can be accessed by MIRC. MIRC also allows for calling COM objects. Would this be an easier solution perhaps Confused | :confused:

Any help would be really grateful Big Grin | :-D

Can you code like the following?

[DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError=true)]
static extern unsafe int CreateFile(
string filename,
uint desiredAccess,
uint shareMode,
uint attributes,
uint creationDisposition,
uint flagsAndAttributes,
uint templateFile);

I'm amumu, and you?

hello?

from what i can see you are using an external function in C# here. I want an external app to use a C# dll.

I suggest that you make a CCW (COM callable wrapper)

After some investigation it seems the COM way is the way to go.

It can. Write your DLL using C#. Now using Regasm.exe you can register your C# DLL as a COM component. This allows COM clients to instantiate and use your class as if it was in a normal COM DLL.

Thx Nish

but it does not seem to work as I think it should. Have a look at example.

<br />
using System;<br />
<br />
namespace MircDll<br />
{<br />
	public class MircDll<br />
	{<br />
		public static int Test(ref string test)<br />
		{<br />
			test = "HELP me I'M in TROUBLE";<br />
			return 1;<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
}<br />

I compile then run regasm, but mirc cannot see this as a COM object. What else do i need? Or is Mirc just plain evil?

I will try some more anyways Smile | :)

I've not looked into calling managed code from an unmanaged app but I very much doubt that MIRC would call a C# dll, you'd be better sticking to C++.

For some reason it doesn't like rv |= 1 << (c - i); ??

protected static uint Reflect(uint val, byte c)
{
    uint rv = 0;

    for (uint i=1; i<(c + 1); i++)
    {
        if ((val & 1) != 0)
        {
            rv |= 1 << (c - i);
        }
        val >>= 1;
    }

    return rv;

i haven't tried, but 1 is a integer-constant
maybe this works:

int one=1;
rv |= one << (c-i);

just an idea... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

You can write like this:

Use the SelectionAlignment method of RichTextBox class.

richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);

Ooops, SelectionAlignment is not a method, but a property, so you need to use...

richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

Better I go sleep now... Unsure | :~

I have a class (MyComponent) that is derived from WebService. When ever I derive another class from this one the window that you switch to code view from puts up a message saying that the type initalizer for MyComponent threw an exception. What does this mean and how do i fix it?
Thanks.
