Re: LUA and Visual Basic

[Adolf Mathias <dolfi@...>]

Hi,

why would you want to taint Lua with this M$ crap ?? ;)

>From what I heard, Vicious Basic supports the loading and accessing of
DLL's,
so maybe it is even enough to compile Lua as a DLL and access that from
VB, or if that's not possible directly, write an intermediate DLL that
exports the necessary features of Lua (dostring, pushnumber/string...,
lua_lua2C, you certainly know them all) to VB. The key seems to be what
C data types can be
accessed (read and written) from VB and how the invocation of C
functions works. I imagine that it happens with some sort of stack, like
in Lua. Can't help you with the details though...
