WiseScript Actions

Hide progress bar before calling function
If the .DLL has UI, you can us this to hide the progress bar.
If you write a .DLL, use CALLBACK or WINAPI in the declaration of the .DLL.
For help with .DLL development, review sample source code, such as GETCPU32.C, in
the DLL subdirectory of this product’s installation directory. Also included is sample
source code for C and Delphi .DLLs written for WiseScript.
Calling Visual Basic ActiveX controls is not supported.
The sample scripts Application kill.wse, CheckDiskSpace.wse, Color.wse, and
Prompt.wse use this action. For details on sample scripts, see ScriptHelp.htm in the
Samples subdirectory of this product’s installation directory.
DLL Parameter Settings
The DLL Parameter Settings dialog box appears when you add a new parameter to a Call
DLL Function action. Add parameters in the order in which they appear in the .DLL’s
function prototype.
