define class in project - build to dll

[monkey666]

Afternoon,

Just learning how to create ActiveX dlls and need a bit of help.

I have a project which contains only a prg file with the following:

*********************************************
DEFINE CLASS myclass as custom olepublic

FUNCTION Myfunc (cTextin as String)
ctextout="Hello"+ctextin
RETURN ctextout
ENDFUNC

enddefine
************************************************

I can then build the project into a single thread dll - named mydll.dll

from a seperate form I have a command button with the code:
********************

DECLARE string Myfunc IN "mydll.dll";
string cTextin

creturn=Myfunc("monkey&quot

MESSAGEBOX(creturn)

********************

The error i get is "Entry point Myfunc not found in mydll"

What would the entry point be? The class or the function?

This is the first time i have used define class programmatically so that may also contain errors.

Help much appreciated.

Monkey,
Try:

ox = createobject("mydll.myclass")
creturn = ox.Myfunc("monkey")
MESSAGEBOX(creturn)

COM DLL's are never DECLARED and called. You need to create an object and invoke a method.

Thanks.

I would like to discontinue this as I have created the dll in VB
