Link C++ - SKILL

Yann00
Yann00 over 12 years ago

hi,

 

Could someone explain to me how to make a link between C++ and SKILL?

I have to develop a program in SKILL. But I do some text treatment in C++. So how I can load my SKILL program, and then lunch my C++ program? I have, in the SKILL program, to have a position with text file from C++.

Ask me if you want more details.

Best regards

    Looking at your C program it would be easier to have your C program write a file of x/y coordinates that can be easily read by your Skill code. Your Skill code would call your C program via the "system" API and read the file produced by your C program. Unless you need to do this hundreds of times a second, I wouldn't go to all of the extra work to use the axl dll binding method unless you are doing this as a learning experience.
