Examples

This code fragment loads the PowerBuilder VM and runs an
application called runapp that uses one library, runapp.pbd. It passes
in a command line with two arguments:

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
LPCTSTR szHello = "Hello world";


// Provide command line parameters (employee ids)
// to be passed to the PowerBuilder application
LPCTSTR szcommandline = "102 110"; 

int wmId, wmEvent, ret;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc;

switch (message) 
{
case WM_CREATE:
{
hPBVMInst = ::LoadLibrary("pbvm.dll");

P_PB_GetVM getvm = (P_PB_GetVM)
GetProcAddress(hPBVMInst,"PB_GetVM");

IPB_VM* vm = NULL;

getvm(&amp;vm);

static const char *liblist [] =
{"runapp.pbd"};
vm-&gt;RunApplication("runapp", liblist, 1,
szcommandline, &amp;session);
break;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

{

LPCTSTR szHello = "Hello world";

// Provide command line parameters (employee ids)

// to be passed to the PowerBuilder application

LPCTSTR szcommandline = "102 110";

int wmId, wmEvent, ret;

PAINTSTRUCT ps;

HDC hdc;

switch (message)

{

case WM_CREATE:

{

hPBVMInst = ::LoadLibrary("pbvm.dll");

P_PB_GetVM getvm = (P_PB_GetVM)

GetProcAddress(hPBVMInst,"PB_GetVM");

IPB_VM* vm = NULL;

getvm(&vm);

static const char *liblist [] =

{"runapp.pbd"};

vm->RunApplication("runapp", liblist, 1,

szcommandline, &session);

break;

}
