Private Declare Function LoadLibrary Lib "kernel32" Alias "LoadLibraryA" (ByVal lpLibFileName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function FreeLibrary Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hLibModule As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
On Error GoTo erh
FileLen App.Path & "\base64.dll"
continue:
lb = LoadLibrary(App.Path & "\base64.dll")
Dim o As Object
Set o = CreateObject("base64.b64")
MsgBox o.encode("nagesh")
Set o = Nothing
FreeLibrary lb
End
erh:
If Err.Number = 53 Then
GetFromRes 101, App.Path & "\base64.dll"
GoTo continue
End If
End
End Sub
