- I have two questions regarding DLL:s that I would be most grateful if
- anyone out there could give me some advice on.
-
- The first one is:
- Is it possible to call a 16-bit DLL from a 32-bit Win NT
- application? (We want to use the Paradox 16-bit database
- engine DLL for our Win NT program...)
-
- The second one:
- Which is the best way to establish a two-way
- communication between a DLL and an application? That is:
- How can we make the DLL call back into the application
- and not only the other way around? Is it possible to
- give the DLL a pointer to a function within the
- application and use that? Is this really safe? Do we
- have to use DDE?
-
-
- Thanks for your help in advance,
-
