Multihost Global Extensions Question
« on: December 01, 2022, 05:41:22 PM »
How should the global extensions be setup in the host exe? For the capesoft extensions I'm assuming that the "This is a part of a Multi-DLL program" checkbox should not be checked in the host, but checked in the sub websites (app's) if they are multi dll, correct?

actually for the host, and the dll's, it's all "NOT Multi-DLL".

From the _apps_ point of view they're all completely stand-alone. So, somewhat intuitively, the host exe, and all your nettalk dll's have both options unticked (for all CapeSoft extensions.)

Technical aside: This is because the DLL's are not statically linked. The DLL needs to contain everything it needs - the host exe _loads_ (but does not link) the DLL, and hence only knows about 2 entry points to the DLL. The other code in the DLL is not shared.
