vl & dll

I have a dll file with few classes; and I want to call one of them from my
AutoCAD vlisp interface (I have no problem calling my dll file from other
environment). Ok, the dll file called "XX.dll" and my class called "YY". It
has no properties and 1 method with 5 arguments. I call from AutoCAD as:
(setq A (vlax-create-object "XX.YY")) and vlisp returns the object ID,
something like #<VLA-OBJECT _YY 0016c3c8>. Then, I stuck with number of
unsuccessful attempts to call it properly. The method I mentioned has 5
arguments from which last two arguments are optional. Types are INTEGER,
STRING, ByRef STRING, INTEGER, STRING respectively and return value is
boolean. Can someone show me how to make this work?

Thanks,

 

Hi...

You must declare five public variables, witch they are passed to method. This variables you must set values from vlisp with vlax-put-property.

(setq A (vlax-create-object "XX.YY"))
(vlax-put-property A 'vbVar1 2)
(vlax-put-property A 'vbVar2 "hello")
(vlax-put-property A 'vbVar3 "bye")
(vlax-put-property A 'vbVar4 5)
(vlax-put-property A 'vbVar5 "I will be back")
(vlax-invoke-method A 'YourMethod)
