   [OT?] Borlands Tasm32 syntax for calling   
   19 Jul 22 17:36:23   
   
   From: address@nospicedham.not.available   
      
   Hello all,   
      
   I'm using Borlands Tasm32 (v5.0) and just ran into a situation where I had   
   to call 'DllGetVersion' inside ComCtl32.  The problem is that that function   
   exists in several other DLLs (shell32 to name another).   
      
   IOW, although I can write 'call DllGetVersion, ...' I never know which DLL   
   will actually get called.   
      
   My question:   
      
   Does anyone here know if Tasm32 knows an assemble-time syntax to call a   
   function from a specific DLL ?   (would be handy for a few other functions   
   too)   
      
   Remarks:   
      
   I currently used the runtime "LoadLibary", "GetProcAddress" solution, but   
   thats cumbersome.   
      
   I could also rename the function itself (from "DllGetVersion" to something   
   like "ComCtl32_GetVersion") and rebuild the libarary, but thats a ... well,   
   not a solution I'd really like either.   
      
   Regards,   
   Rudy Wieser   
      
   P.s.   
   Anyone knows where I can find ComCtl32 v6.x ?
