DLL to read out the FeatureTree

Hello!

I have written an VB-Applikation, this needs some information from a
SoWo-Part (all Feature-Names, etc.). So i read out the FeatureTree to
get this informations.

Wenn i do this with VB it is more then 10x slower than with an
SoWo-Macro (the SolidWorks-Support confirmed this)!!

Now i want a better performance for my VB-Application. But the
complete application is not realizable as Macro.

I considered to write an VC++ DLL that read out the FeatureTree and
want to include this DLL in my VB-Code.

Could this be realized? Or have anyone a better idea to get a better
performance?

Thanks for our help!

Maybe you could call the SW macro from the dll.
swApp.RunMacro MyMacro, "Module1", "Main"

A Macro i can start without a DLL, this works also with VB.
But how can i get the return values (Featurenames, etc.) to the
VB-Applikation(i don't want to use a textfile)?
I think this doesn't work?!
