Import DLL library

[Former Member]

I have a question about DLL's. I have a DLL from an application and I need to use some functions from this DLL. How can I do that? As an exemple my dll is mydll.dll and use this dll to print, it's useful in VBA. I use the function F_PRINT from it. How can I use this same function in ABAP? I tried the SOLE tcode but doen't work. Any ideia?

Thanks everyone.

Thanks Ytamar, but I'm still confuse. My SAP version is 4.6c and I need to engage the DLL function inside an ABAP program. Can I use this statements in a normal abap program, for my version?

Thanks again

is it a activex dll, if yes then check out the following weblog where i had used MS text to speech control in ABAP

this may give you an idea on how to go about.

Thanks Raja, it is very helpful but it is not an activex dll. I'm still trying to figure out any way to access some functions from my dll and it doesn't work.

My dll came togueter my printer and I didn't register it, it doesn't need. The problems is I just can use the functionality from this printer if I access this dll and execute its functions.

Thanks again
