The /dll and $dll() features allow you to make calls to DLLs designed to work with mIRC. The main reason you would want to do this is that processing information in a DLL can be far faster than doing so in a script, so for intensive data processing a DLL would be more efficient.

Note: mIRC also supports calling COM objects, for calling non-standard DLLs.

Prototype

The exported function must have the following function prototype:

#include <windows.h>
int funcName(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause);

Note: These functions must use the stdcall calling convention. (This is also the standard calling convention for all other Microsoft Win32 API functions.)
