Every MSXDataRec (the basic structure that is passed in when you pass
in a price array) contains a string (i.e., character array)
called "pszSecurityName". This will work just fine inside of a DLL,
but unfortunately, you can't return a string from a DLL, only another
array.
But several methods come to mind that may help accomplish your task:
You can check to see if the passed in array's name equals a name that
you hard-code into your
DLL, and return a boolean (zero or one) "constant array".
Or you could have a list of names hard-coded into your DLL, and
return a different numeric "index" for each name in the
list.
Finally, you could pass in a name as a string argument, and then
return zero or one if it matches it or not.
Hope this helps,
