Calling a DLL in FS by a gauge

[tiberiu11 55]

Hello guys, I am posting here since I have a question that I can not answer by myself. I would like to make a DLL that will be in the FS9/Modules folder, which does some calculations and stores some variables. What I want is interaction with a gauge that I am developing. I tried everything that I could, but I couldn't get it to work. I use this code for the DLL:http://www.squawkbox.ca/downloads.php Does anybody know on how I should proceed for interaction between the gauge and the DLL. I don't want anything complex, for start create a variable in the DLL, set a value to it, and be able to obtain the value in my gauge. Thank you very much for your help.Yours Truly,Tiberiu Brasovhttp://www.eaglesoftdg.com/staff_Images/TB.gif

TiberiuYou really need to be able to include GAUGES.H or fs9gauges.h in your module to do this. This inclusion will allow you access to all the FS gauges functions and variables in your module. It will, for instance allow the 'register_var_by_name' command which will make sharing data with gauges somewhat easier. To do this, your import table and linkage definitions need to look like this:/* This is the module's import table. */ GAUGESIMPORT ImportTable = { { 0x0000000F, (PPANELS)NULL }, { 0x00000000, NULL } }; /* This is the module's export table. */ GAUGESLINKAGE Linkage = { 0x000002d9, module_init, module_deinit, 0, 0, FS9LINK_VERSION, {0} };If you want, I have a working example I can e-mail you.Doug
