Adding Const Parameters to Functions in DLL's

[Darkjester]

How can i add those blue constants so that i can use them in dll's?

[DJLinux]

i use maros

register int
RIC(NameofTheIntegerConst,123)

register float
RFC(NameofTheFloatConst,1.23)

register string
RSC(NameofTheStringConst,"123")

here are my macros

So I just Call the Include when i comp the plugin and call these functions?

Very Useful thnx Djlinux

if you mean in c++ how do you make a const its like ...

const int a;
const float a;

...

if you mean how can you create a const in Basic4GL through a plugin where the registry part is do ...

registry.RegisterIntConstant("Name", Value)
registry.RegisterFloatConstant("Name", Value)
registry.RegisterStringConstant("Name", Value)

- Nicky

[Darkjester]

Yea but what about what you do for the subroutine?

[Nicky Peter Hollyoake]

You mean like Sub ... End, Function ... EndFunction? If so I don't think its possible.

[Darkjester]

What i mean is im trying to make const params for functions (like default varible values) and sort like glenable(enable something) does that make sense?

Yes. This does that ...

registry.RegisterIntConstant("Name", Value)
registry.RegisterFloatConstant("Name", Value)
registry.RegisterStringConstant("Name", Value)

Example:

registry.RegisterIntConstant("NewTRUE", 1)

I just make an integer constant named "Newtrue" which returns 1, instead of the normal -1 we get.

So now we can use it in a program ...

Player.Alive = NewTRUE
if Player.Alive = NewTRUE Then
'...
Endif

[Darkjester]

oh ok Makes sense now. Is how OpenGL Parameters work?

[smc44]

hmmm i was thinking of that but didnt want to ask lol

[DJLinux]

if you will use opengl extension

first search in the opengl ext string the name of the extension
(if you call a none exist extension it will crash)

define your ext consts and function POINTERS!!!

funcptr = getprocadress("nameof of the function")

make it for B4GL useable via your plugin

google for an opengl extension example or tutorial
