byref t ype mismatch

[ns]

I have the C dll:

#include
#include

int _stdcall CallMe(int *a, int *b)

{
char ab[20];

sprintf(ab,"The value of a is %d \n",a);
MessageBox (NULL, ab, "Test DLL", MB_OK);
b = a;

return 0;

}

with the .def file:

LIBRARY builderDll
EXPORTS
CallMe (int *a, int* b) @1

I call this from VB as follows:

Private Declare Function CallMe Lib "C:\PMARModif\builderDll\Debug\builderDll.dll" (ByVal a As Long, ByRef b As Long) As Long
Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim a As Integer
Dim b As Integer
a = 10

CallMe a, b

Form1.Print b
End Sub

When I try to run I get a byref argument type mismatch pointing at b Appreciate your help, ns

at first glance, i would say that you're passing in long when the function takes int ?????? Notorious SMC
