Use DLL in FoxPro

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello, 
i try to use the DLL from QPDF 8.13 in FoxPro. After running the QuickPDFDLL0813.prg to DECLARE all necessary Functions i call the following:

lnID = QuickPDFCreateLibrary()
lnReturn = QuickPDFUnlockKey(lnID, "Licence Key")

FoxPro stops after the "Unlock" with the Message "Syntax Error". What is going wrong here? I read here in the Forum something regarding UNICODE and FoxPro... 

With the AX Version i have no problems but i want to use the DLL Version because of no Client Install.
Has anybody an idea what i can do?

Thanks in advance

Klaus

	Can you try using QuickPDFUnlockKeyA(InID, "Licence key"); All the the QPL functions that use a string now have a matching "A" function that accepts a standard 8bit string. LoadFromFileA RenderPageToStringA ... ... I am pretty sure this was added to the 8.13 Final release. Andrew.
