Using .dll files in Readyapi

Hello amirse 

Here is a sample groovy script that I hacked up from original source found from the link in the code. Put it in a Groovy Test Step to try it out.  It just goes against the Microsoft Windows supplied kernel32.dll that is on Windows computers.  It looks like the important part of the code is to get the interface method calls correct.  Finding the interface definition for your .DLL will probably be the tricky part.  This sample does not rely on any special tool pre-process or anything other than the imported libraries that are supplied with ReadyAPI (JNA).  Good Luck.

Regards,

Todd
