Check out the library object. Its apparently sort of in beta, but it should
give you what you want.
P.S:
I've never used the object myself, so take the above with a grain of salt.

Subject: [Audyssey] BGT And Screen Readers And Unicode And More
Hi,
NOTE: this post is sort of way too nerdy for this list, but I thought I�셝 send
it anyway, for the wanna-be coder�셲 general delight.
Now that BGT is FREE I thought I�셝 try and see if I could write a wrapper for my screen reader abstraction library so that my screen reader of choice (SuperNova) could be supported by games written using this toolkit. I also like having as many
wrappers as possible for my library, to make people�셲 lives easier if they use something that isn�셳 C++. So trying out BGT sounded like a good idea to spend a Thursday morning. Anyway, turns out BGT is into ANSI where strings are concerned. So
naturally I have some questions:
- Is there a way to call external DLLs that use Unicode strings (which
is what Windows has been doing for a real long time).
- If not, is there any chance BGT can gain native support for
SuperNova and maybe also ZoomText?
Opensourcing the thing sounds like a fun idea, though I see several issues with that too and don�셳 intend on starting that debate here and now. Just wondered if there�셲 a way to deal with Unicode strings that doesn�셳 involve depriving Philip
of a few hours of sleep. Using int or long might work, but then still you�셝 need to convert these into a string object, and those are ANSI so they�셪l pout at you real bad and then bluntly refuse.
Note that I use Java myself, and not necessarily for games, so this is not a message saying �쏦ELP GUYS I AM STUCK AND ABSOLUTELY NEED TO GET THIS RESOLVED OR ELSE I CANNOT WRITE MY GAME!!!�� I just want to provide as many wrappers for my DLL as I
can without overdoing it, and BGT is definitely a big thing in the blind gamers community. That reminds me, I should probably try to do AutoIt too. Anyone know if that allows you to call DLLs in a non-evil way?
Thanks,
Davy
