Can't find dll

Postby crazy_phil » 26 Jan 2009

hello,

I'm trying to use a custom dll.

The call to the dll as been included in an indicator for test purpose.

**************************************************
DefineDLLFunc: "C:\matrice\matricecafnar.DLL", void, "DLLWRITEINSTRU", LPSTR,int, LPSTR, float,float,float,float,float,int,int,int,int,int,int ;

DLLWRITEINSTRU(symbolname, barinterval, "xxxx", o, h, l, c , c , Volume, 15, 14,26,01,09 ) ;
**************************************************

the dll code includes that :

_____________________________________________________________________

// matricedll.cpp : Defines the exported functions for the DLL application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "Matrice2.h"

Matrice2 dll_matrice;


extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)

void __stdcall DLLWRITEINSTRU(std::string instrumentNom,int ut,std::string etat,
float open,float high,float low,float close,float prix,int vol,
int minute,int heure,int jour,int mois,int annee)

___________________________________________________________________________


When I try to plot my indicator, I get the message :

can't find dll "c:\matrice\matriceafnar.dll"

I also tried getting the dll in MC's folder --->> same message

Hope you can help me
regards
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

If you place the dll into the same folder where MC is installed, you need to simply write the following:
--------------------------------------------
DefineDLLFunc: "matricecafnar.DLL" ......
--------------------------------------------

However, if your code says
--------------------------------------------------------
DefineDLLFunc: "C:\matrice\matricecafnar.DLL" ......
--------------------------------------------------------

The dll should be placed into that folder: C:\matrice\

Dear Marina,

I understand that well, but, anyplace I put the DLL, I allways get the same message, : can't find dll
