How to create a function in c++ and call it in PF

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to create a function in c++ and call it up in the Process Flow, e.g. through custom code? If so, how can it be done?

@stefano L I think the easiest solution is to make a usercommand and then call that usercommand in the PF. The usercommand itself can be a C++ command or can call a function from a DLL

Ok, thank you very much @steven.hamoen. Is there an example I can learn from?

Here's a video I made a while ago that shows the steps involved with using the DLL Maker for the first time.

It has no audio and didn't capture the mouse cursor, but it shows the steps needed to get started with the DLL Maker pretty well.

To call a C++ function from ProcessFlow, you just use a Custom Code activity and configure it the same way that the video shows a trigger being configured.
