RPC Broker Help Home RPC Broker 32-bit DLL Interface Introduction The functionality of the TRPCBroker component for Delphi is provided in a 32-bit Dynamic Link Library (DLL) interface, in BAPI32.DLL. This enables the use of any development product that can access Windows 32-bit DLLs to create applications that communicate with VistA M Servers through the RPC Broker.
In Delphi, you have direct access to the TRPCBroker component itself, and its properties and methods. In other development environments, you can only access the properties and methods of the TRPCBroker component through DLL functions. So to understand the DLL interface, you should understand how the TRPCBroker component is used in its native environment (Delphi). DLL Exported Functions
The following special issues should be considered when accessing RPC Broker functionality through its DLL:
RPC Results from DLL Calls
GetServerInfo Function and the DLL
Header Files
Header files for using the DLL are provided for C (BAPI32.H), C++ (BAPI32.HPP), and Visual Basic (BAPI32.BAS). Guidelines for Calling DLL from C++ Guidelines for Calling DLL from C Guidelines for Calling DLL from Visual Basic
Sample DLL Application
The VB5EGCHO sample application, distributed with the Broker Development Kit (BDK), demonstrates use of the RPC Broker 32-bit DLL from Microsoft Visual Basic. The source code is located in the ..\BDK32\Samples\Vb5Egcho directory.
