1. Create a new function that takes the URL as its single parameter, using this code:std::string GetUrl(const char *URL)
{
2. Insert this code to create a new constant buffer to store the size of the parts that make up your file:const int DownloadBufferSize = 1024;
3. Add this code to create a constant that stores errors, in case your program throws one:const std::string errorString = "ERROR";
4. Use the HINTERNET function of WinInet to open an Internet connection, before you attempt to download the file, by inserting this code:HINTERNET hInternet = InternetOpen("GINA: Version 0.1", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, 0,0);
if(hInternet == NULL){
return errorString;
}
5. Open the URL by using this code:HINTERNET hFile = InternetOpenUrl(hInternet, URL, NULL, 0, 0, 0);
if(hFile == NULL){
return errorString;
}
6. Create a buffer that holds file size by inserting this code:DWORD sizeBuffer;
DWORD length = sizeof(sizeBuffer);
7. Get the file size by using this code:bool succeeds = HttpQueryInfo(hFile, HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH | HTTP_QUERY_FLAG_NUMBER, &sizeBuffer, &length, NULL) == TRUE;
8. Create a new string to store the file by inserting this code:std::string downloadedContents = "";
9. Insert this code to set the download buffer and count the number of bytes your program downloads:char *downloadBuffer = new char[DownloadBufferSize];
DWORD bytesRead = 0;
do{
InternetReadFile(hFile, downloadBuffer, DownloadBufferSize, &bytesRead);
10. Append the contents of the download buffer to the file until the file is complete by using this code:downloadedContents.append(downloadBuffer, DownloadBufferSize);
}while(bytesRead != 0);
11. Close the WinInet handles and the program by using this code:InternetCloseHandle(hFile);
InternetCloseHandle(hInternet);
return downloadedContents;
}
1. Create a call to the DLL file. In this example, a call to a DLL that manages the hard drives on the machine is used. The following code creates a call to the file:
Declare Sub getdiskinfo Lib 'c:\myDLL' (ByVal drive As String, ByVal volume As String, free_space As Long)
2. Create variables to send to the function and variable that contains the return value. The following code is used to declare variables in Visual Basic:
Dim drive As String
Dim volume As String
Dim free As Long
Dim returnValue As Integer
3. Call the function and return a value. The following code illustrates how you use a DLL function in Visual Basic:
returnValue = getdiskinfo (drive, volume, free)
4. Display the result to verify your function results. The message box is used to test values in Visual Basic. The following code displays the return value from the 'getdiskinfo' function call:
MsgBox returnValue
