Importing C Code into QB64?
« on: October 05, 2020, 03:32:11 pm »
How do I go about importing C code into a program of mine in QB64 32 bit edition? I want to import a block of C Code , and don't have any idea how to do this, can anyone help me with this?

Russ

Transfolio.c is what I want to import,  the code I want to import it to (at the end of my program) is transfolioshell.bas

You can't.
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!

I knew that you can include .h files, the bad thing is that I don't know how

Including/calling C code is fairly easy (see screenshot).
Converting C code to native QB64 code may or may not be possible depending on the nature of the C code, however it will almost certainly involve manual processes specific to the code being converted.

But you can't just plop the C code into your source. Which is what I thought the original question was.

@rcamp48
be careful because your C program included has using an external DLL, so surely you must have also that DLL to get working C program.

About the C program it accesses to parallel port to I/O.. I think that this can be made also by QB64 code if you know How C program manage that port.

Can C code do anything ( also the old 16/32bit work that are emulated into QB64) ? Or just plain 32/64bit work ?

Thanks for feedback
