- Hi,
-
- my problem is following:
- I must use a 32bit-DLL from Visual Basic 3.0 (a 16bit-application)
- under WfW (the DLL also runs with Win32s) and Win95.
-
- Calling the DLL directly doesn't work.
-
- Which possibilities exist to solve this problem?
-
- ) Writing an own DLL for conversion between 16bit and 32bit?
- If yes, from where can I get more information about that?
- Do such DLL's exist anywhere?
-
- ) Writing a 32bit-OLE-Server? (I could use VC++ 4.0)
- Are there any examples of such servers, that also run under Win32s?
- Is it true, that OLE-container and OLE-server can be written
- for different APIs (16,32bit)?
-
- ) Any other suggestions?
-
- Thanks
- Wolfgang
