Hello folks !

 Is there some guide/faq on how to use pre-compiled DLL written in Visual C version 6
with appication written in Delphi ?

 The DLL in question is WRAPI.dll. This is a wrapper dll intended to simplify
communcation with wireless network adapters via NDIS 5.1.

 I have complete sources for WRAPI and have translated it's header file
for use with Delphi. I wrote a simple application to test the link and
it failed.

When trying to run the file i get a messagebox with

WIFI_CONTROL.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point WRAPIDisassociate could not be located in the dynamic link library WRAPI.dll.

 I'm pretty sure that functions in DLL ARE exported. I even used a resource tool to confirm that
functions are exported.

 The definition of the above function is

function WRAPIDisassociate() : HRESULT; stdcall; external 'WRAPI.dll' name 'WRAPIDisassociate';

 Also, i tried with function index (it is number 1, i found it via resource tool), but app simply
fails quietly.

 I wish to avoid use of LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress(), but if there's no other way ...
I'll do it then.

Best regards,
 soya
