Only today I found out about the MIDI stuff in guiserver, and I really like it. Currently only note and pitch bend seem to be supported. Are there plans to also implement controllers (technically, that is rather easy). It would allow to implement sounds from moving sound sources and other interestin...

Here is VB.NET code working with h GCC compiled version. Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form <DllImport("c:\newlisp\newlisp.dll", _ EntryPoint:="dllEvalStr", _ CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi, _ CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _ Public Shared Function dllNewlispeval(ByVal txt ...

I was using your VB.NET example as a starter. Have you done extensive testing with the BC compiled version? I fear that it might have the same problems lik the GCC version in a longer run. Therefore, I think it would be worthwhile to adapt the lstrCpy method to VB.NET also. but I have not found a wa...

I just tried to adapt the WinAPI technique to the VB.NET example, and it does not work at all. I do not know VB.NET. Perhaps you can try to convert the VB6 technique to VB.NET? Maybe this takes care of the crashes in VB.NET

Some more things: Strings in VB are rather difficult, there is a special type BSTR which has to be used in C programs to be called by VB, but support for this type seems only to be supplied for Microsoft compilers. Therefore I am using a workaround calling WinAPI functions converting C's char * to V...

is there some repository where I can put examples? I now have VB6 and Excel examples as zip files. About LoadNewLISP: Your code works with a fixed path to newlisp. LoadNewLISP in the new examples will pompt you for its location when it is not found immediately. I also think that as long as newlisp.d...

Thats the way it works in VBA: Create a module in Excel's VBA editor. Paste the code below. Put the cursor inside the sub test Press F5 Now we have NewLISP in Excel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More code to follow Public Declare Function dllEvalNewLISP Lib "newlisp" Alias "newlispEvalStr" ( _ ByVal L...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;187912 has a description of how to pass strings between VB6 (also applies to VBA) and a C dll. I think this mandates a 2 step process. Evaluate in the DLL and assign to a temporary buffer. Let VB call a function giving the size of the string in...

I do not have BCC, and i had the same problem when I tried your
VB.NET example.

This is getting really messy. The problem is that VB and VBA cannot handle char * as return values, strings work differently in VB. I am investigating if it can be done. I read the mentioned thread. VB and VBA use stdcall, that is not the issue. I added a test function returning integers declared wi...

I tried do use the DLL in Excel through VBA. It does not work, it crashes. I have used similar code for other DLLs, so I assume the signature of newlispEvalStr is not right. Loading works, I get a handle on the DLL (there is code to check that!) Public Declare Function EvalNewLISP Lib "newlisp" Alia...

I installed newlisp in c:\mathstat\newlisp, and now
Help -> Manual and Reference does not work because it still tries
to find the files in c:\newlisp
