I have read that for certain things you have to create & load dlls for testing ?

I have no idea on this ? Could someone on the forum throw some light.

thanks

load_ddl("yourDLL.dll");

Then let's say that yourDLL.dll contains a function called: "addition(int x, int y)" which returns a integer value.

Then you can define an external function that accesses the above function as follows:

extern int addition(in int, in int); # this is TSL code!

Now whenever you call that function, it should invoke the function in the DLL.....but I could be wrong. You should investigate the User Manual for exact details.

You can also use pre-existing dll's in the C:\winnt\system32 directory (KERENL32.dll).

The dll must export a function in a standard format (I believe this is called extern C)

The reason you would do this would be to use a function written in another programming language such as C or C++ .

It's common to load and use dll's for win32 api functions.

Example code located at above link for loading a DLL to get access to a function named "GetTickCount()" located in USER32.DLL in the Windows-System directory. The function "GetTickCount()" is used to "seed" the Random Number Generator so you get a more true ranndom number.

DLL files can enhance a test by providing functionality missing from WinRunner!
