How to call a Dll function ?

[ChrisThal]

Hi,

I've great trouble with dll. I would want to crop a DIB (Bitmapinfoheader) by using DIB_BitBlt of dibeng.dll :

BOOL DIB_BitBlt(LPPDEVICE lpDestDev, WORD wDestX, WORD wDestY,
LPPDEVICE lpSrcDev, WORD wSrcX, WORD wSrcY, WORD wXext,
WORD wYext,long Rop3, LPBRUSH lpPBrush, LPDRAWMODE lpDrawMode)

But I couldn't manage to load it, call it and then use it (using LoadLibray or __dllimport)

I've tried :



typedef BOOL (*PExportedFn)(LPPDEVICE, WORD, WORD, LPPDEVICE, WORD, WORD, WORD, WORD, LONG , LPBRUSH , LPDRAWMODE );
PExportedFn pfnEF;
DWORD error ;
HMODULE hMod = LoadLibrary("dibeng.dll");

if (hMod == NULL )
{
error = GetLastError();
if (!deja)
{
ErrMsg("Erreur : %d",error);
deja = TRUE;
}
return hbm;
}

pfnEF = (PExportedFn)GetProcAddress(hMod,"DIB_BitBlt");


pfnEF(hbmNew,0,0,hbm,0,0,50,50,SRCCOPY ,NULL,NULL);





But error = 31 // A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Please, it would be very cool if someone can tell me what's wrong
Do i need to add something ?

If you could send me a piece of source to show me how to proceed because I've tried everything without being successfull.

Thanks by advance, Christophe.

First, check is the dll in the right directory.
Second, check whether the function exist in the dll(using dumpbin /exports).
Third, check the call convension.
