Title: Do we need to freelibrary when declared this way?
Post by: kryton9 on June 29, 2011, 01:44:29 AM

I am using this declaration method to access winapi dll's.

declare function QueryPerformanceFrequency lib "kernel32.dll" ( byRef lpFrequency as quad ) as long

Do I need to use the freeLibrary command then?

No Kent, when you declare external prototypes Basic/C style, their libraries are logged and freed automatically at the end of the prog.

That is really nice. I like this way to use winapi, with Oxygen byref, it makes the code look neat when pointers are needed.
