« on: January 13, 2020, 07:08:27 PM »

i use the mctoolgetdata from the lua
but when i try from api cant get any respone
i need the tool hight from the tool table

i use:
 [DllImport(@"C:\Mach4Hobby\Mach4IPC.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
        [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]
        public static extern int mcToolGetData(
        [param: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]  int mInst,
        [param: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string path,
         [param: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]  int tollNum,
        [param: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.R8), In(), Out()] ref double ret);

and the function:
double hreg = 0;
            int debug = mcToolGetData(0, "mc.MTOOL_MILL_HEIGHT", toolNum , ref  hreg);


i also try the type as int and i try all numbers from 0-20 same no any logical return
