Greetings! There have been a number of questions regarding the creation of string functions for VB in C and TPW. For C programmers this requires the CDK and TPW programmers are SOL. However, a solution lies in the VBPOINT DLL that I uploaded last week. This DLL, although written to be called from VB, can be called from TPW or C, enabling the creation of string functions for VB without the CDK. I have uploaded an example of its use in a the form of a TPW DLL that contains a Soundex function. You may find this function of use by itself as it works like any other DLL and does not require an understanding of TPW. Making use of the source does required a basic (pardon) understanding of TPW, however. Let me know if you have troubles using the DLL or understanding the code! -=- Jonathan P.S. Please note that you need to download both SNDEX.ZIP *and* VBPTR.ZIP!
