Can I access VC++ / C / C++ (etc) code through Metastock functions?

Hi,
I need to pass a string to an external function (made in C/C++/VC++ or any other language).
(a) If I create a DLL for that external function, then can I call that external function through my metastock indicator without having MDK?
(b) Is there a way to access a url inside an indicator (as my basic need is to update mysql database) through metastock functions or will I have to make a DLL for the same as well.
Thanks in advance,
SY

Hi SY,
Welcome to the forum.
In order to be able to make DLLs for MetaStock, you need: a) the MDK, b) a compiler which can make win32.dlls; whatever language you use is up to you.
You can pass strings, ints and doubles to the external function, but you can only receive a double array back from the function, so keep this in mind. However, the function itself can do anything within the limitations of the language used to write it.
Hope this helps.
