INFO: Files Needed to Call 16-bit Functions with Foxtools
Q141815
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, Professional Edition, versions 3.0b
SUMMARY
Foxtools.fll uses two support files to call functions in 16-bit dynamic-
link libraries (DLLs).
MORE INFORMATION
Foxtools.fll uses two support files in Visual FoxPro versions 3.0 and 3.0b:
- Fll32_16.dll is used for calling 16-bit DLLs under Win32s.
- Ddereg.exe is used for calling 16-bit DLLs under Win32.
These support files are used to call 16-bit DLLs with RegFn and CallFn. You
need to include them with your application if it uses Foxtools to interface
with the 16-bit API.
NOTE: If the 16-bit DLLs are not found, the error "Cannot find DDEML.DLL"
occurs.
In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, FOXTOOLS looks for these files in the following
order.
- Directory where FOXTOOLS was loaded from.
- Visual FoxPro default directory.
- Visual FoxPro search path.
- Visual FoxPro home directory.
If they are not found, a LOCFILE() dialog box is displayed.
