dll fails when compiled with delphi 2010, but works with delphi 7
I may be doing good if someone can just point me to the right forum I have not created a dll for some time and have not written one with 2010 before. The dll I am creating will be called as a cfx function by either a ColdFusion or BlueDragon webserver. I have written cfx DLLs in the past. The function declaration is below, it is the standard declaration from ColdFusion or Bluegradon documention on creating a CFX. procedure ProcessTagRequest(Request: TCFXRequest); export; cdecl; Since this was the first time using 2010 I wrote a very basic function to build off that was not much more than "hello world". It compiled without any problems, it registered with BlueDragon without problems. It did not function, it did not cause any errors but it could not pass information back to BlueDragon, a pChar that contained multiple characters only passed back the first character. Seems like a memory problem to me. This is on a windows 7 computer. After trying several things I started an old xp computer created a new dll with delphi 7, pasted the 2010 code directly into the new delphi 7 project (same name) and compiled. No problem, registered the dll with ColdFusion. The cfx functioned perfectly. Thinking it could be a problem with windows 7 or bluedragon I copied the delphi 7 dll to the windows 7 computer. The delphi 7 dll also functioned perfectly on windows 7 and BlueDragon. So the exact same code (straight copy paste) works when compiled with Delphi 7 regardless of operating system or webserver, but fails if compiled with 2010. The 2010 dll id about 3 times larger than the delphi 7 dll. 293kb vs 89kb. I know if someone hasn't created a cfx function this is rather vague. Any ideas? maybe compiler directives? Thanks Bill Hannan

If it is working in D7 but not in D2010 then more than likely you need to go in
and make hte string and PChar's to PAnsiChar and AnsiString to remain
compatible. Sounds like ColdFusion or BlueDragon is expecting ansi data to be
passed back and forth and in D2010 Char, String etc are all Unicode data.
Change the structures those two are expecting to match the data type they are
expecting.

Jeff,
That was it.
I had to make the change in cfxapid.pas credits below, a quick search and replace all, was all that was needed.

cfxapid.pas is available on Adobe's website (ColdFusion is an Adobe product)
Thanks

Debugging DLL compiled with Delphi 7 in Delphi XE5
Dear Sirs/Madams, We are considering changing from Delphi 7 to Delphi XE5. Our project consists of a dll and an .exe file. I have begun converting the .exe file to Delphi XE5 and have successfully accessed the DLL compiled with Delphi 7.

Using Delphi 7 and Delphi 2010
I had a project in Delphi 7. I worked on it in Delphi 2010. When I try to open the .dpr again in Delphi 7, the IDE toolbar widens across both monitors, and Delphi 7 locks up. It appears that Delphi 2010 modifies the .dpr in a way that makes Delphi 7 unable to open it again. All my forms & units appear to open fine in D7 after D2010, except for the warnings on the ExplicitHeight and ExplicitWidth properties being missing... I can easily recreate the .dpr, but is this expected behavior? Thanks. Tom Field wrote: > I had a project in Delphi 7. > > I worked o...
Migrating From Delphi 7 to Delphi 2010
We did not know which forum was the best for this question. We have been wanting to migrate from Delphi 7 to a later version for years but it appears to be a daunting task. We first looked at D2006 and that was a radical new world. We bought D2010 a couple of years ago and not done much with it because there are so many parts to our applications. We have done a few new applications in D2010 and they seem to work okay. D2010 has not been impressive, perhaps because of the strangeness compared to D7. Is is possible for us to do a phased sort of migration where we do a form at a time? ...
Calling Delphi 6 DLL from Delphi 2010
We have a Delphi 6 dll that has a PChar passed to it. The dll function then does a search and returns a PCHar. This works good using Delphi 6 to call and recieve the dll result. We have upgraded our calling program to Delphi 2010 and most of the time, the value is passed back just fine. However, we do have times when we get an access violation, when calling the dll. The dll does process the request. Below is the code. Has anyone had a similar issue using an older version Delphi Dll with Delphi 2010? I am sure that Unicode has something to do with it, but not sure how to fix th...
Delphi 7 to Delphi 2010
We have decided to move up some applications running under Delphi 7 to Delphi 2010. However, I was surprise to see that simply recompiling the application causes the application to be much slower than version 7. We have a lot of string transformation routines, some mathematical transformations, etc. When I mean slower, I mean up to two times slower than with Delphi 7, so it not a minor difference. (The EXE is also a lot bigger but I don't worry too much about that). Is there something I can do to obtain the same kind of speed I had in Delphi 7 but with Delphi 2010? ...
