And yet another question:

If the procedure inside the DLL takes some time to execute, how can I
"refresh" the main app interface from time to time?

I used to write Application.ProcessMessages; or Component.Refresh; but for
obvious reason, it doesn't work from inside the DLL...

And is there a way to modify, by means of a pointer, a ProgressBar.Position
value and to refresh it?

Usually, I would modify the progress bar value, and then refresh it or
refresh a parent component (like the ultimate
Application.ProcessMessages)...

If my DLL takes 2 minutes to return, I want to give some user feedback about
what is happening...

Is there a way to achieve this without going through threads manipulation?

And would my DLL remain compatible with any calling app? written in other
language than O. Pascal with a different IDE than Delphi?

Thanks again, yet,

Louis Pelletier, Qu�bec.
