using functions and procedures in VB6 from an AddIn (create

Microsoft · Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 1

Hi

I have created an AddIn with VB6 containing functions and procedures
(defined as pulic). Now I would like to use it in other VB applications.
Can someone tell me how I have to define it for using (Public Declare..) an
do I have to implement additional something in the Addin (.dll)?

Many thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you'd want that for... if you're running a compiled app,
you'll need to distribute your addin DLL along with it, if you want to use
its functions. Addin's are specifically for the IDE. They weren't designed
to share data or automation with a compiled app.

But, anyway... if you can give a description of what your desired end result
should be, we can probably come up with something.

btw, if you want to use the DLL itself, without it's "Add in" functionality,
sure... just add publics to the DLL and use it like any other.
