how to use c++ .dll functions in AEL script in ADS?

[engkfke]

I have c++ dll library and i want to use its functions in AEL script? is it possible?
i do it using VBA script and it's worked with me.

No, you can't call dll libraries from AEL scripts. What you can do is to run external executables from AEL.

Thank you,

There is no way to use a c++ dll library in ADS program?

Please be more specific ... what type of DLL function? What are you trying to do?
C++ DLLs can be used in user compiled models, but you can't use C++ libraries from AEL.

I have compiled c++ DLL. and i want to use it!

Understood. But you can't access DLLs from AEL code, so it doesn't work. DLLs can only be used for user compiled models.

Please tell me how to start to use user compiled models.

In the ADS online help, search for "user compiled models"
Also, there is an example in the ADS examples: $HPEESOF_DIR/examples/Tutorial/UserCompiledModel_wrk

Is there any way to link a AEL script code with an compiled code (e.g dll, com , windows service,...)?

With AEL you can use the **broken link removed** function to execute any executable file, batch file or shell script. You simply use AEL to define the command line string that need to be executed and there are setting to cause AEL to pause and wait for a return value if required.
