LoadNewDll

DLLNumber = LoadNewDll(Filename$)

Parameters:     Filename$ = The file name and path of the DLL you wish to load

Returns:     DLLNumber = The index of this DLL number to use

LoadNewDll will read a DLL from disk into your computer's memory for later use. Unlike LoadDll, you just provide this command with the path and filename of the DLL to load, and it will a allocate free DLL index for you. FACTS       * You can only use standard DLLs. See: NewAX for ActiveX support.       * Use GetDllExist to check if DLL has already been loaded.       * Use GetDllCallExist to check if a function exists within a loaded DLL       * Use DllCallConv to change the calling convention used to call functions from a DLL. Mini Tutorial:       This example shows how to toggle the visibility of the mouse cursor using Windows' user32.dll.      Filename$="User32.dll"    ; Check if the DLL file has been loaded ?   If GetDllExist(Filename$) =0            Print "Loading DLL"          ; Load the USer32 dll into memory ready for use      User32=LoadNewDll("user32.dll")               EndIf       ; Check if function "ShowCursor" exists in this DLL   If GetDllCallExist(user32,"ShowCursor") = 1      Print "Calling Function 'ShowCursor' from this dll"      Print ""          ; "ShowCursor" only expects one parameter:    ; passing 1 will show the mouse, 0 will hide it      Print "Hiding Mouse POinter"    ; Hide the mouse cursor      CallDll(user32,"ShowCursor",0)            Print "Press any key to show the mouse pointer again"      Sync      WaitKey : WaitNoKey    ; Show the mouse cursor      CallDll(user32,"ShowCursor",1)      Print "The mouse is back."      Print ""         Else      Print "SOrry this function doesn't exist in this dll"   EndIf      Sync   WaitKey    ; Delete the DLL from memory   DeleteDll user32
