Does anybody know where could I find a simple but complete example
of a PowerBasic program which compiles into a DLL to be used by a VDS5/6 script?
(similar to the Delphi example provided by the producer).

Thank you,

Mate

I don't believe we've ever had a PowerBasic developer in our ranks here. I know we've got a PureBasic example, but I doubt you'll find a PowerBasic example.

But! If you're familiar enough with PureBasic, I can get the PureBasic example I have that someone made for me and pass it on to you, so you can convert it over to PowerBasic.

Thank you Garrett for your answer.
I found myself a PureBasic example on the net, but unfortunately the syntax is rather different
and I was hoping to find the easiest way.
Probably I will have to start with the "trial & error" method

Anyone want to buy me a copy of PowerBasic so I can write a VDS DLL example in that language Just kidding... I wrote the PureBasic example so I will give PowerBasic a shot.

Is the PureBasic example freely available?

trapper,
You can download my PureBasic example from here http://www.vdsworld.com/search.php?view_mode=fileinfo&file_id=501

Also just a thought but if you have VDS and GadgetX you should be able to achieve the same results as you could writting a DLL with purebasic or powerbasic. When I was developing GadgetX I looked at both those languages to see how they did things and many of my demos were based on user code from those languages and others such as RapidQ, Euphoria and others that were popular at that time. BTW I started writting Gadget almost 2 years prior to purebasic being on the market so no the name Gadget did not come from that language.

Having some spare time I finally succeeded to convert
the Delphi DLL example provided by the producer into PowerBasic.
Note that the PB DLLs are small and fast.
For those interested, I attach the source of the DLL and the
small VDS demo.
