Functions to DLL

[Anonymous]

I have a function I created awhile back to create a selection set. I pass it
the block name and then get the selection set back. I use this in almost all
of my projects, come in very handy for me. As you know I have to add the
module to all my projects to use it.

I know next to nothing about DLL files so my question is. Is it possible to
put this function in a DLL file and use it from there?

Thanks all!

Heath

Only if you have a programming language other than VBA. However,
unless you have several functions to place in the library, it'd
be complete overkill to create a DLL for a single routine.

Frank,

I use VB6 and VBA. I also have about 20 different functions that I use quite
often I was thinking of adding all of them to a DLL. I just don't know if
its possible or where to even start.

Thanks frank.

in the visual basic documentation, under using visual basic, the component tool
guide, creating activeX components, creating an ActiveX dll. If you don't have
pro or enterprise go online to msdn

Hi Heath,

Working on Frank's information I documented all the processes as couple of
weeks ago. You may care to search backwards under my posts.

In most of the languages I use, there are libraries of functions
that I frequently re-use, but I don't put them in DLLS, I just
create a 'blank' or template project that I can start with, add
to that everything that I will use in all projects, and then use
that 'template' project as a starting point, rather than starting
from scratch each time.

DLLs are good when you want to update the code in the DLL on a
system where it is already deployed, without having to recompile
and redistribute the entire application.
