Real World API examples?

 [1/2] from: depotcity::telus::net at: 5-May-2001 17:38


Hello again. Just looking at the API .dll side of view/pro and was wondering if there are any "real world" examples for Windows out there? Terry Brownell

Hi Terry Not sure if this is real world, but here is a script which shows how to access the C-Runtime Library on Windows. This runtime library is crtdll.dll in the Windows/System directory. You can view the functions available by right-clicking on the DLL and choosing Quickview (if you have it installed). For docs of args and return vals, check a C manual. On my machine, the script produces these results: C-Runtime DLL Results Rebol log-e 5: 1.6094379124341 C log 5: 1.6094379124341 Rebol log-10 pi: 0.497149872694134 C log10 pi: 0.497149872694134 Rebol sine/radians pi / 4: 0.707106781186547 C sin pi / 4: 0.707106781186547 C floor 5.8: 5 C ceil 5.8: 6 C pow 2 3: 8 C toupper #"a": A C clock function (ms) 1040 Cheers -Larry -------------code---------------------- REBOL [ Title: "Call C Library DLL" Author: "Larry Palmiter" Date: 19-May-2000 File: %clib.r Purpose: { Tests some Dll calls to Windows C runtime library } ] clib: load/library %crtdll.dll clock: make routine!
