Delphi7通过VB6之COM对象调用PowerBASIC写的DLL功能。标题挺长，其实目标很简单，就是在Delphi7中使用PowerBASIC的MKI/CVI, MKS/CVS, MKD/CVD，并顺便加入CRC16检验函数，再进行16进制高低字节调整，方便在VB6、Delphi、Lazarus等环境下利用Modbus协议传送指令和数据时，进行十进制数的浮点转换和数据接收校验。我写的只是一个方法，其实用算法实现也并不十分复杂，但总觉得应该让曾经精典的老古懂们能做点事情，不希望职场上那样只要年龄大了就弃了不招不用的做法。
分三步走：
- 用PowerBASIC写基本DLL
- 用VB6写COM组件
- 用Delphi7写界面验证程序
一、用PowerBASIC写基本DLL
PowerBASIC兼容VB6最好，甚至许多功能完胜VB6，而且QBASIC有的功能它基本上都保留了，只是随着VB6的淡出而停止了前行。如果用现在语言的功能衡量它们，它们确实老了，但在工控领域里还是有许多用武之地的，比如工厂一般使用的总线方面，Modbus在国内比较普及，即使有了TCP也只是从Modbus ASCII或Modbus RTU变成了Modbus TCP，所以小而精的东西在这方面比大而复杂的东西更受青睐。PowerBASIC写DLL很简单，DLL入口出口不用管，写自己的功能函数并EXPORT即可。
下面的MBFIEEE32PD.BAS是用PowerBASIC写的(由代码时都找不到选哪个了，就选VB.NET吧)

' LIBMAIN function Purpose:
'
' User-defined function called by Windows each time a DLL is loaded into,
' and unloaded from, memory. In 32-bit Windows, LibMain is called each
' time a DLL is loaded by an application or process. Your code should
' never call LibMain explicitly.
'
' hInstance is the DLL instance handle. This handle is used by the
' calling application to identify the DLL being called. To access
' resources in the DLL, this handle will need to be stored in a global
' variable. Use the GetModuleHandle(BYVAL 0&) to get the instance
' handle of the calling EXE.
'
' fdwReason specifies a flag indicating why the DLL entry-point
' (LibMain) is being called by Windows.
'
' lpvReserved specifies further aspects of the DLL initialization
' and cleanup. If fdwReason is %DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH, lpvReserved is
' NULL (zero) for dynamic loads and non-NULL for static loads. If
' fdwReason is %DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, lpvReserved is NULL if LibMain
' has been called by using the FreeLibrary API call and non-NULL if
' LibMain has been called during process termination.
'
' Return
'
' If LibMain is called with %DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH, your LibMain function
' should return a zero (0) if any part of your initialization process
' fails or a one (1) if no errors were encountered. If a zero is
' returned, Windows will abort and unload the DLL from memory. When
' LibMain is called with any other value than %DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH, the
' return value is ignored.

END FUNCTION不难看出，MKI/CVI MKS/CVS MKD/CVD这些函数在PowerBASIC里是保留的关键字，CRC16计算是我从CSDN上载了贴上去的，在这里感谢那位CSDN朋友的贡献。Modbus RTU一般使用十六进制浮点传送，因此程序里做了变换处理。
二、用VB6写COM组件
用VB6调用刚才编译后的MBFIEEE32PD.DLL非常容易，不需要做任何字符串处理，两者是100%一致的。做声明定义时完全按VB6的原则来即可，PowerBASIC是无条件遵从的。如果是写VB6应用程序，直接调用DLL中的函数，直接应用就可以了，这里路过就不多说了，还是接着往下写COM组件。

End Function打开VB6，选Active X，把上面的码贴进去，添加个无边的小窗体，放上Text1到Text7共7个文本框，Form的名字 M2I3HiddenWND，属性是 Hidden 隐藏的。文件名 MBFMODIEEE，类名 MBFIEEECRC，存盘、生成 MBFMODIEEE.DLL，即为其它开发环境使用的COM了。
加这个Hidden窗口是这么想的，VB6和PowerBASIC变量和字符串完全兼容，但Delphi7就不一定了，尤其是字符串存储方式的转换。从Delphi来的字符串显示在VB6的文本框可以，但直接传送给PowerBASIC或许有问题，于是就想让文本框做个过渡，或许直接传也不是问题，我没做验证。
因为这个DLL是COM，需要将 MBFMODIEEE.DLL和MBFIEEE32PD.DLL放在同一目录下，并在目录中放入Delphi7应用程序。为了让程序能互访，在CMD窗口里，转到它们所在的目录下，用regsvr32将MBFMODIEEE.DLL注册到系统中。regsvr32 MBFMODIEEE.DLL 回车即可。
三、用Delphi7写界面验证程序
在Delphi下引用刚才注册的MBFMODIEEE.DLL
在弹出的列表中选中刚才注册的MBFMODIEEE，并点击 Create Unit生成 MBFMODIEEE_TLB声明文件，刚才注册的DLL中要调用的类和接口就都有了。
在USE中引用生成的PAS，然后为接口声明个handle
在Form产生时创建对象
然后在需要的地方就可以通过接口使用对象中的功能函数了
然后就是正常的开发应用程序，编译后运行(有时开发环境下可能出现异常，但编译后运行是比较好的方法。都是老顽固，稳定可靠，但要就着它们的性子，不能太勉强了)。
BTW：这些功能除PowerBASIC外，FreeBASIC里更齐全，甚至包括了QBASIC的全部关键字，但它的字符串不同于VB和Delphi，需要另外处理。不过它可以写COM，除32位编译器，它还有64位编译器。
