Chris,
Is there a Type Library available? Delphi can import all calls of the DLL from
the TLB (semi)automatically.
When I Googled "Crystal Reports TLB" there were quite a few references, such as
the following.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious and you've already gone down that path.

Subject: Loading DLL's at run time
Hello list,
I have a financial package that exports functions (via 2 .DLL's) to
crystal reports. I have a list of all the functions, parameters and
return types, so I can use them in my own projects.
When I use the dll's, I have to declare all the functions - no problem,
I own them, I've got the info.
When crystal uses them, all I have to do is put the dll's in the same
folder as the main crystal executable -voila! the functions are
available, remove the dll's and the functions disappear.
Over the years, the financial package has been patched and upgraded, and
the quantity of functions has increased, again, no problem, drop the new
dll into crystals folder, and I can see the new functions.
There is no inf file, just the dll's
I want to do this, I want to be able to code a project that reads a dll
(any dll), extracts the function names, parameters and return types and
exposes them to the user.
Can a guru show me the way?
Cheers - Chris
