Problem reading function from DLL

Postby SysInv » 10 Dec 2012

I'm trying to access a DLL from Multicharts but get the problem that it can't find the function. I've tried creating a DEF file, and also using __declspec(dllexport) for newer compilers. MC finds the DLL but not the file.

Does PLKit.dll have to be imported, even if I only use a simple function? I'm getting problems compiling with it's references even though the proper .Net is installed.

Thanks, I've read that post multiple time and searched the forum as well. It seems like the problem is a mangled function name so I need to sort that out first.

It was a mangled name issue, so it's working properly now (for any other reading the thread, you don't need PLKit.dll unless you want to use MC specific references)
