Example of DLL coded by codeblock and used by FS

[DjMmix]

Hello Guy's,

i'm postin this thread for you show a dll compile under Codeblock (because I do not have visual studio) and used as flowstone.

I took the addfloats function (the simplest function to understand) and show you some little difference (including the size of the much smaller dll, less header file and slightly different statement)

I joined you archive with the project and the fsm Codeblock associate.

Hmm... Why after opening your schematic - FS toolbox shows only 1 primitive - the DLL? Or should I ask - where to turn off that view limitation?

For educators we have introduced a feature called Local Toolboxes. This allows you to easily create a reduced toolbox so that students are only presented with the components they need to perform a particular task. The toolbox is local to a schematic and can be saved with it too. The feature may also be useful for power users who want to keep their own toolbox of favourite components to use with particular schematics.

No word on how to turn it off, no mention on "local toolboxes" in manuals. But found it. On schematic (not toolbox, not main menu, not options) - right click and first option from the bottom "remove/restore local toolbox" (Shift+Ctrl+T).

BTW - you can use "schematic file path" (fixed in current FS version) primitive to follow the folder where you extract schematics, thus added dll's. This should simplify pach changes between computers. You can pass it through "start folder" primitive. This one is activated within exported files, exe for example. I did some experiments here:

You're welcome.
Maybe with your help I will understand how to connect these FS apps with external dll's...

thank you mmix

i prefer using codeblocks too, great to have an example for this.

Thanks mmix - this is all new to me, and my first impressions of Visual Studio are "Aaaaargh!" - it's really good to know that we have some other options for making our code.
