Hi,

1) I am not a C programmer but need C functions to access methods and property in the OEC API.

My target language (Clarion).

What is involved getting an API that is callable from C ?

you will have to create a wrapper library in C++/.NET and export required functionality in C style.

That is obviously beyond my capabilities.

What would be involved in getting this done ?

Thanks

We are offering API as .NET library and COM library. We are not familiar with Clarion and could not say what exactly is needed to call OEC API from Clarion, but if you need a specific style API (like ANSI C), you might consider hiring a developer to do this work. We've had positive feedback from a number of our clients who have had Larmee Associates do programming for them. His contact information is listed below.

I just need a plain C DLL callable from Delphi from instance but it's flexible really.

Have any other customer requested this before ?

Our Delphi customers use OEC COM API. We do not provide plain C DLL and are not planning to do it.
