ABC: Multidlls with multiple dictionaries
1998-08-29 -- Nik Johnson
 
Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c4 > I have in the meantime purchase clarion 5. Heard a birdie whistle that > the problem might be solved in clarion 5. Is this True? If so, it's news to me. However, you may be able to do what you want in either C4 or C5 if you use a separate "root" dll for each dictionary. Don't tell the rest of your app about the extra roots. Let them be "private" to dlls which use that dictionary. The links go something like this: Dict_A - Root_A - DLL_A1 - DLL_A2 - ... - EXE | | Dict_B > Root_B - DLL_B1 | | Dict_C > Root_C - DLL_C1 - DLL_C2 ---------- In each case, the root dll will have the necessary derived objects to handle the files of the corresponding dictionary. However, you will only be able to "see" these from dlls in that particular chain, so any access needs to be through procedures in that chain. Yes, you will have multiple copies of some class methods. No, I don't think it will hurt. Yes, I wish they'd come up with a better way. -Nik
