Testing the Add function

Compile the project. Note that you can't 'run' a dll, so if you press F9 you will get an error message. Use Compile/Build all instead.

You dll will be created in the same directory as your project. So lets go try and it out!

Load APW. Start a new file. Choose Data/Load function. Select your dll. Since this is not yet a UCD, you will have to enter the functions, arguments and return yourself. They will be:

Name: Add;
Arguments: short,short;
Return: short. (Note that an integer in APW is a short.)

Now you can use your function. Add a calculation icon to the flowline and add two numbers together. eg
res := Add( 3, 4 )

Did you get 7? Are you impressed with yourself? Think you're a real programmer now?

When you have finished, close the APW file. Don't bother to save it.
