It is not a keyword it is a generic type. So that is not easy, specially since C++ and Pascal classes differ. And even if the call succeeds, getting results from apiprodlist is major problem number two. You can try to match the C++ code with carefully crafted pascal code, but that requires knowledge about implementation details of the C++ implementaton. I avoided that way (as too complicated and too fragile), but Rudy Velthuis has an article on it (C++ <-> Delphi) http://www.rvelthuis.de/articles/articles-cppobjs.html I myself generally solve this with a wrapper DLL, by crafting a DLL in C++ that exports a C (not C++) interface, and then use that. The same method as QT is used from Lazarus (via wrapper dll/.so qtpas) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
