How can I pass a treenodearray type parameter to the DLL function?

In Dll Maker I'm building my own DLL function.If I'm passing treenode types , I can use treenode A=parnode(1).If I'm passing numeric types and I can use int B=parval(2). But if I'm passing a treenodearray type ,how should my DLL function accept this type of parameter? In the old version, Flexsim used parval, parnode and parstr to pass parameters to functions or triggers.But in the updated version,Flexsim use param pass parameters to functions or triggers, and param can be compatible with more data types(including treenodearray type). unfortunately,I can't use param in my Dll project! Is there anyone who can help me with this problem?

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.6

Add the following line to FlexsimDefs.h near the #define for parnode, parval, and parstr:

#define param(__a__) _param(__a__, callPoint)

Then use that function in the usual way:

Array myArray = param(1);

Beyond this two configurations, is needed something else to make the "param(1)" works?

I'm using the v2010 of Visual Studio Solution at the DllMaker template directory. I did the update at FlexSimDefs.h but still not able to use "param" in my code, no matter the variable type.

Support for Visual Studio 2010 was dropped in FlexSim 7.5.

The param() command was introduced in FlexSim 7.7.

Try updating to a newer version of Visual Studio.
