Title: import functions with alias-names?
Post by: HPW on December 17, 2003, 11:17:16 PM

In other enviroments you can mostly specify an alias name for the imported function.

Example:

Code Select Expand

(import "user32.dll" "MessageBoxA" "MSB") 
(MSB 0 "This is the body" "Caption" 1)

Another point where things can get smaller!

Just a thought.

Or is it this?

Code Select Expand

(set 'MSB MessageBoxA)

Yes, it is. So make it in the import-call and I can save one command.

Of cource optional!

This would be quit nice to do this:

Code Select Expand

(context 'iSEDQPDF)
(import "iSEDQuickPDF.DLL" "iSEDNewDocument" "NewDoc")
(context 'MAIN)

Then I could use:

Code Select Expand

(iSEDQPDF:NewDoc)

try this:

(set 'Win:Clock (import "kernel32.dll" "GetTickCount"))

(Win:Clock) => 1312656

You don't need to do (context 'Win) at first. The 'set' statement with a context creates the context automatically.
