Never had this problem with DLL's. I always locate the DLL's in the same folder containing MBX application.
ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH DLL'S ============================================= (it could help someone one day...) If a MBX application uses a DLL1.dll, and if DLL1.dll depends of DLL2.dll : When the first call to DLL1.dll is done, if DLL2.dll is missing, the error message is "DLL1.dll not found". This is a wrong message. By this way, if DLL1.dll depends of many other DLL's, it's hard to know which DLL is really missing.

Cc : mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Objet : SV: [MI-L] MBX error: Dll not found even if it's there Jeff - I've encountered the same problem and I suspect it is some kind of timing problem - the dll's is not loading fast enough. For me, the problem typically occurs when the dll's are located on a moderately slow networked drive. Try to collect all your dll's and the mbx in the _same_ directory on the pc's _local_ hard drive. I'll assume your dll uses the dispatch id to generate a com object of the current MapInfo instance and use this object to "remote" control MapInfo. If that's the case , have you had any problem with MapInfo loosing focus ? And maybe solved this problem ?? NB! I'm using Delphi, not C/C++ , but I don't think that the difference in language matters.

Sendt: 12. oktober 2006 12:34 Til: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Emne: [MI-L] MBX error: Dll not found even if it's there Hi, I created a dll in C/C++ and exported one of its functions in order to be able to call it from MapBasic. Then I created a small .mbx file that calls that function. This works just fine as when my mbx is executed it runs my dll exported function. So my dll function is exported correctly as MapBasic expect it. Recently I changed my dll by adding more dll dependencies on it (my dll depends on other dll's). I noticed an *intermittent* problem. When my mbx get executed I get this error that my dll could not be found and my mbx does not get loaded nor executed. If i try the same operation again it works. So it appears to me like an *intermittent* problem. I'm not sure what the source of this problem. Would it be a racing problem as MapBasic tries to load my dll and fails as MapInfo Pro is still not completely loaded? Have any one encountered a similar problem? Thank you Jeff Lacoste ps: My dll and all it dependent dll are present. My equivalent mapbasic function has an input argument the MapInfo Dispatch ID. I'm using systemInfo(17) to pass the current running MapInfo Pro Dispatch ID to my C/C++ function to use it. _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
